I've been having this issue for a long time now, and have finally gotten enough time to devote to try and fix. Here's the abridged version, I had random blue screen at least 1-5 times a day, didn't matter what I was doing. Ran some memory tests and they came back with errors so I traced it down to one of the two sticks.
I removed the stick ran with one chip and reinstalled windows, ran without BSOD until I started messing around with it again. A couple of weeks ago I call AW and have them ship me out a replacement memory stick. Less then a week later I get, pop it in and machine doesn't boot. After a messing around with it for a little while I realize the timing on the new memory and the old memory were different. So I figured that was the issue, call them up they are send me another one.
Meanwhile while I was waiting for the part, I deceided to perform a little expriement, I put a pc3200 512 chip(which is what my machine shipped with) in one slot and a pc2700 256 chip in the other slot, both had CL timing of 2.5(orignal's are 3). Used the machine for a week using them for a week until the other 512 chip arrived, didn't have a single BSOD, I even put the machine through hell to try to get it to crash but it didnt budge.
So new pc3200 chip comes,I put it in and machine boots up. Use the machine all day then at night boom!, BSOD. Same blue screen errors I used to get,08E was the most common one sometimes I used to get Page Less then IRQ or something like that. My question is does anybody have any idea to what this could possibly be? I'm trying to learn how to read the memory dumps but it's not too easy. So if anyone has any sort of suggestions please feel free to suggest anything, this is driving me nuts
