well idk how its happening but yesterday i got a few such as switching tabs like going youtube finding a song or something then switching to a forum. also its happening in 3 of 5 games i play the 3 that they happen in are Planetside, supcom forged alliance, and WAR. the 3 errors that i had time to record were 6.0.6001.2.1.0.768.3 and a PFN list corrupt and a 0x00000109 and finally a bad memory management. all of this is a royal pain in the ass because im on a holiday break with a faulty comp with nothing good on tv

    Try downloading Memtest86 and test your ram to make sure it is still functioning properly and has no errors.

    You're getting Memory errors, it's probably something to do with your memory. ;) Either you OS is unable to address the memory, or the physical sticks have gone kaput.

    Find and download MemTest86+ and let that run for at least 4 hours or until you get an error. If you get an error, there are a few things you can try:

    -If you're overclocking your RAM, set it back to regular clocks.

    -If you're not overclocking, but are still getting errors, go into your BIOS (as long as you know how to navigate your BIOS, if you don't - don't try -I mean it) and up the voltage to your RAM very, very slowly until you pass the MemTest. Depending on what RAM you have, the sticks may not be able to withstand more than 2.5v and there's a real chance of frying them if you push it too far.

    -Re-install your OS.

    If those don't work, your RAM sticks are dead and you need to buy new ones. If you'd rather not re-install the OS, I'd put the RAM into another computer and see if the errors occur.

    There's also a small chance that it might be the motherboard, but in my experience it's the memory going bad.

    As always, if someone comes along who is more knowledgable than myself and can offer a better plan and explanation, listen to them.

    Unfortunately CCcleaner, as good as it is, can do nothing for him. If it's citing memory addresses in the BSODs (that's the 1x00000019 etc. number - a memory address block) then the likelihood of a registry issue is pretty far out.

    Good product, though. Just not relevant to the situation. ;)

    I have seen memory problems before that had nothing at all to do with bad ram. Just the O.S. thinking there was a problem. Was trying to eliminate reg errors first. But haveseen that type of problem since the Windows Me  days .

    I have tried Memtest86 and it gave me errors just because the operating system was not utulizing the RAM properly, I am not saying you shouldn't try it, but I don't trust the results too much. When ever I get a BSOD I do the most primitive thing when it comes to computers, I wipe it lol.

    cool ill give the memtest a shot but for all that otherstuff like overclocking i dont do cus im not that tech savvy. the only thing that is happening is that its getting worse like when i tried to post in this thread it BSOD for bad memory management. i believe it is faulty ram but the only good thing is that i got it from newegg on friday so ill be able to return it for a new one. also since i have alot of games would it be possible to throw to much stuff at it at once cus like i installed 11 boxes of games in the day i got it including drivers.
