Main specs: Currently looking at i7-3770k, overclocked (school / work -- rendering, etc) Radeon 7870 or 7950 (primarily because I want to use my 2560x1600 monitor to it's native resolution) + overclocking 16gb ram (school / work - adobe, autodesk, rhino 5) SSD + 1 HDD | ||

CX600 is in my opinion the most useless power supply in Corsair's lineup, from the perspective of user needs. If you have some beast computer that can actually get anywhere close to needing more than the CX500, you probably want something better than CX's mediocre quality anyway. It doesn't have power connectors for multiple GPUs, which would be the reason to need that much. I haven't really seen great deals recently. Try Rosewill Capstone 450: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182066 Or if you're willing to pay $15-20 more to remove the one or two cable strands you're not using, Capstone 450-M or Seasonic G 450. | ||

Thanks. If they're from a few years ago they're almost certainly empty. Typically gift cards start losing money after a year or two of non-use. | ||

Problem signature: Problem Event Name: BlueScreen OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3 Locale ID: 1033 Additional information about the problem: BCCode: 3b BCP1: 00000000C0000005 BCP2: FFFFF96000136373 BCP3: FFFFF88008B08030 BCP4: 0000000000000000 OS Version: 6_1_7600 Service Pack: 0_0 Product: 768_1 Files that help describe the problem: C:\Windows\Minidump\031213-8845-01.dmp C:\Windows\Temp\WER-10873-0.sysdata.xml I haven't found much on google about those error codes other than they may suggest a hardware issue. I just ran Memtest, it appeared to fail on the 3rd test, here's a picture of the screen during memtest.+ Show Spoiler + So what do I do now? Do I assume my RAM is bad or do I need to start playing around with sticks and seeing if the DIMM slots are bad? This is my first time using Memtest but that seems like a hell of a lot of errors... Any help would be greatly appreciated. | ||

Just to be clear, the motherboard memory slots probably look like this at the moment: slot 0: [ ] and you'd put it back in slot 0 and 2 instead of 1 and 3 or vice versa. If that doesn't help, you could try fiddling with your BIOS. You could update your BIOS, though that would be a bit scary with memory that makes mistakes. Instead you could try to get it to work stable by tuning various settings. You can try changing these settings: * for the one setting that can automatically change the rest of the memory settings, set it to "default" or "auto" instead of the "XMP profile" setting * raise "DRAM voltage" slightly, for example from 1.5 V to 1.55 V * add one or two to all timings, for example turn 9-9-9-24-1T into 11-11-11-28-2T * decrease the speed the memory runs at, for example make 1600 MHz memory run at 1333 MHz If that does not help, you can try to find out if your PC works correctly with one of the sticks, and produces error with the second one. If that's the case, one of your sticks is broken. Some manufacturers have years of warranty or lifetime warranty, so look into that before you buy new memory. If it seems that both sticks are broken, it could really be your motherboard that's broken. I'd try to update the BIOS as a last resort. | ||

This is my first time using Memtest but that seems like a hell of a lot of errors... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Your ram is most likely the culprit, so you know where to look. Try underclocking the ram/raising voltage, see if that eliminates the issue. If not, then try moving the rams around, see if the mobo slots are the issue. Are you running any overclocks? You shouldn't really look too deep into what an error code means or what kind of crash is caused by what. It's more important that you did crash, than what code it is (ie ive had ram cause x124's, ive had drivers cause c5s, etc really errors codes are pretty meaningless). You need to troubleshoot exactly the problem but it looks like your on the way to making sure the RAM is the problem. You RMA faulty components if there's an issue, which is fine, happens all the time. About 2/8 parts I get are faulty in some way. You should really list your full hardware specs though, that'd help a lot. If you have a certain mobo it may be a bios issue, if it was a certain ssd maybe an auto updated driver is the issue, etc... | ||

If that's not it, you should try hard to remember what "recently" means and what you changed about your Windows installation at that point. If you didn't touch anything, go Control Panel and search for Windows Update and click on "View update history". Try looking for some new NVidia driver recently getting installed or something like that, then go install an older driver for whatever changed. | ||

I used the unit preloaded for a while in WoL but didnt know it existed in hots aswell, will try it out. well recently means around the time HotS came out I think. | ||

so could I try using one of the other presets? Like Fast or something, given how powerful my system is? | ||

I'm repairing a PC by proxy right now (my brother is on location). The symptoms were the PC would power off randomly at random intervals, eventually (after I think weeks) wouldn't turn on again. Brother tested the PSU with a tester and it passed, so we replaced the mobo. He went through everything he had plugged in on the motherboard and it all seemed to be correct. Even if something were seated awkwardly it would still at least power on, but it doesn't (both mobo power connectors are in and the PSU is flipped to on). My best guess right now is some weirdness with the front panel pins or the power cable itself being faulty, but those both seem to be a stretch. Any ideas? Apparently it turned itself off because he plugged the PSU connector (4 pin for fans) into a fan header on the motherboard....... | ||
