Still need 2 to start.

[paceman]

Now 3, someone got tired of waiting.

[paceman]

Back to needing 2.

Wish i could help. But i'd be more of a hindrance.

edit: Put myself in, but i'm only useful until the map changes so we need players fast.

Yeah I saw your post about map changes. I hope they get a patch for that quickly.

I did a clean install of Win7 yesterday and haven't been able to play a round yet to see if the damned BSOD is fixed.

Clean reinstall of windows 7 yesterday, not 5 mins into a game this morning, BSOD!! Good job DICE.

Guess I'll be playing COD MW3.

[juneau]

Have you ran memtest at all Pace?

We have 5 players! However i'm certainly going to crash on map change so we need more ppl!

[paceman]

Yes, when I first had the problem I booted from the Microsoft Memory Utility. I let it run through every test 7 times. Not one failure.

Did you (or a friend) build your PC? If so, post your motherboard model, and the models of all your RAM sticks. Also post your BIOS's RAM settings (in particular, timings and voltage).

Otherwise... contact the manufacturer. Because that definitely sounds like a hardware issue, running on a Win7 clean install and latest drivers.

That one isn't as good as memtest86.

I built this PC -
ASUS - P5K SE
Ram - 4 sticks of Kingston HyperX 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) KHX8500D2/1G

All timings are set on auto. I had them OC a little, but at the 1st BSOD I set everything to auto to see if that was the problem.

[juneau]

Manually set the timings. A BIOS glitch can cause problems with Auto.

What Juneau said. The timings you should manually set to are 5-5-5-15. Also, make sure your RAM voltage is set to 2.2V in the BIOS (according to Kingston's spec here). A lot of motherboards default the RAM voltage way too low, like around 1.5V-1.8V. It will not hurt your motherboard to run it at the full 2.2V, and running it any lower than the RAM's spec will cause stability issues under load.

Thanks to both of you. The default voltage on the RAM for this mobo is 1.5v. I think I'll jack up the voltage and set the timings manually and give it a try.
