Been working alot on improving my music lately but it haven't been all that easy since my PC is like bluescreening 24/7

Some of my errors:
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
INTERRUPT_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
MEMORY_MANAGMENT
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP
BAD_POOL_HEADER
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Memtest 7 hours,5 pass = No errors.
Temperatures are normal.
Can't test my gfx card though since i dont have another PCI-E GPU nor a PCI one either....

Anyway my latest track is gonna involve vocals and it's the the first time im adding real vocals/lyrics into my songs im very excited how it's going to turn out

The guy (yeah a male) whos going to sing has a really nice voice and i hope it fits to this song,
(Small snippet of his voice : http://soundcloud.com/patrickgeschke/you-found-me )

And here's the track itself, instrumental version, I'm waiting for him to compose some lyrics and record it, so final version might be slightly difrrent as i mayeb need to adjust some stuff for vocals to fit in....

Enjoy~!

These blue screens seem like a driver issue, but there are some questions you can ask to try and narrow down the problem.

When did these bluescreens start? Can you think of anything, hardware or software, that you added to the system in that time frame?

Do you have any USB devices plugged in? Do you ever use solid state memory devices (like an MP3 player, ipod, phone, external hard drive) that you connect via USB? Do you ever use the ReadyBoost feature? (essentially this uses unused drive space on a device as extra memory)

Make sure you have all the latest drivers for your devices, and make sure you are getting them from the manufacturers website.

Check and make sure you have all your important Windows Updates installed and up to date.

I have a basic guide to some blue screen troubleshooting tips in the tech support forum as well

have a look and see if anything in there can help.

Feel free to PM me if you haven't got it fixed - Happy to help

I would say it's definitely a ram issue.

I had practically the same problems before! Non-stop BSOD with all kinds of errors and out of those 9 errors that you listed, I would say that I had 7 of them and those BSODs always happened randomly.

I ~~can't remember which rams i had~~ had Mushkin redline rams and then I bought some Kingston HyperX, and all BSODs were gone and never saw them ever again

I've tried running on one of the rams (can both be broken?) and also done memtest for couple of hours think it was 4-5 pass for like 6hours or so, no errors detected....

They're kingston brand.

I'm using 3 Rams 2x2GB 1x1GB

Then it's definitely one of the sticks that's defective

This is very similar to the CPU death we experienced on my sister's machine. It also gave random BSOD error messages and I first suspected memory problems as well. After testing them I noticed three capacitors were blown up (or seemed to be) on the mainboard. Once we got a new mainboard, SURPRISE, it didn't boot at all. Had to get a new CPU as well.

Try with a fresh install of windows (on the same file system), if it behaves similarly it's definitely not a driver problem.
