Possibly, I suppose the only way to find out is to create a second one. In the meantime, do you know of any memory monitoring software? I doubt the problem is caused by overheating but I dare not ignore the possibility.

I entered the boot menu from startup (F8 on Win7) and ran the disk, but the system just booted up as normal. I even tried setting MemTest as the bios and running it as priority, still, just booted up as per normal. I like to think I'm not quite as oblivious as this makes me out to be.

Well I downloaded the Memtest but I honestly have no idea how to run it... given its an ISO I would assume DaemonTools could work, but I've never been able to run that programme without it crashing. Looked into the task manager 'Performance' tab and it looks alright. 4GB total as expected...

Yes I am, I did wonder if it was memory related (what with the name of the error) but I wouldn't know how to investigate that. Rather hoping I don't have to remove/reinstall the hardware. Alright I'll certainly give that a try.

Now this hasn't happened much, twice in the last month or so at most. But I've had the sudden computer crash leading to a blue screen which reads "Memory Management", before performing a crash dump to...save data I suppose. Does anyone know what the cause of these are? Usually my computer...

Alright this is something that I tried to address some days ago but haven't gotten to the root of. A few days ago my GPU's (6950) temperature was marked by MSIAfterburner as around 30. That's fine, but one day the average temps (on idle I might add) became a solid 50+ and they've been there ever...

GPU- my CPU temps are between 30 and 40 which is pretty much normal.

Usually my computer runs at a fair 30 on idle, and reaches around 50-60 on load for heavy games. That's just fine by me. Today however I turned on my computer, and after an hour or so of doing nothing but Microsoft Word I thought I'd open MSI Afterburner- only to find my GPU was running at 50...

Not currently but I may be able to get one. Cheers for the advice, hopefully I won't have to RMA but I certainly will if I have to...

Okay yes we DO seem to have a problem here. After only a few minutes of Kombustor stability testing the system blacks out.

Alright I'll certainly give that a try. I can usually run high end games for long periods without problems, but I'll try 3DMark or Kombuster and see if anything crops up from that.

I suppose it could well be, but I'm perplexed that my system would work at all if that was the case. I can only assume the other answer might be a hardware error that just isn't registering under an event diagnosis... Also seems to happen a lot less when I switch back to standard BIOS I notice...

This is what I found under the critical section of events, does this say anything to you? http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o113/ZombieGenesis/Untitled-1.png

How do I enter event logs? That's not something I'm familiar with. Following any kind of system check or hardware inspection I'm getting no errors at all. Not even any abnormal temperatures. Like I said, this one has me stumped...

It gives no form or option of diagnoses. When the screen goes black the monitor cuts out completely, there are no beeps or special lights save for the ones that indicate the machine is running. I can only assume the noise is from a fan- but its very hard to tell what. I want to say the case...

I've been having variations of this problem for a while now and to this day the solution eludes me. It happens a majority of the time- but not always- I boot the system and it runs up to the desktop. After a few seconds, the monitor loses all signal from the computer and my rig starts making...

Should also note I HAVE run the BIOS version before without this problem. For about a month actually it worked just fine. Only recently has this been happening.

A few days ago I came here with the purpose of understanding a problem when my PC booted. I was since able to identify that the problem only exists when using the BIOS setting of the unlocked 6950 (not using 6970 BIOS). Essentially, I start up the system and the lights come on, but nothing...

Well I found that the hanging may be due to me turning off at the socket each night. The lawnmower noise and dead-on-boot problem though is still very present. Is there nothing I can do to diagnose this?

Well ****. Is there any way I can test this? Since I can't exactly RMA for something the component was never supposed to do anyway.
