I keep getting a random BSOD. (for the past few months)
I'll leave and come home or wake up in the morning with the PC rebooted to the login screen.
Once logged in, the message comes up about a bluescreen occurred.
It can go a few days before it does it again.
I though it might be a driver issues so I updated the video card and sound card drivers.
All other drivers were up to date.
I still had issues so I uninstalled/reinstalled video card drivers.
I didn't think to check the memory (since I've never had memory issues in my life) until yesterday.
Memtest86 came up with errors.
Does this mean a stick is bad?
Would this most likely be the cause of the BSOD?
I figured I'd ask before making a warranty claim.
I was reading online about Bios memory settings and processor/memory compatibility.
I couldn't find any information on AMD's site about whether or not my memory is compatible with my processor.
I checked my bios settings and have them manually set to what the memory is. (voltage, latency, etc.)
I have 2 sticks of memory installed, I will try to scan with Memtest86 individually to see results.
See results with both sticks in attached JPG.
