PC Bluescreen

[4p]

The PC runs fine in general, once it gets over the 'hurdle' it runs great but that hurdle is a strange one.

My PC boots up fine, no bluescreens, no problems etc. I can use the PC completly fine (Adobe packages, games etc) but theres a problem...

I can't load up xfire or firefox without it bluescreening :/ Sometimes it loads up firefox fine but as soon as i go on any website it dies on me.

Xfire rarely loads up without forcing my computer into bluescreen aswell but when it does its completely fine.

Blue screen error: 0x0000008E (0x0000005 0xE0BD1F1, 0xf206BAF4, 0x00000000)

I have uninstalled and re installed both programs and that made no difference.

Anything changed recently? New build?

Firstly, check the memory is ok by running memtest86+.

Check the memory is receiving the correct voltage as recommended by the manufacturer.

Check that both the 20/24 and 4/8 ATX power connectors are connected and secure.

Check the PSU is providing enough juice.. Most BIOSs provide a voltage reading but it's best to check yourself.

Here's my guide

Check the above first then we'll go from there.

Nope, only added a DVD Drive in the last 6 months or so

I literally have no idea how to use this program *clicks guide*

1.9v?

Yep everything is fine, built this myself!

No problems there

1.9v sounds about right but it won't do any harm setting it to 2.1v but check the manufacturers website first.

Failing that, try loosening he timings to say 5.5.5.18 if they are set to 4.4.4.?

If you haven't ran memtest then the best thing is to try the system with one stick in at a time in the same slot. If the system blue screens with one stick but not the other then you almost certainly have faulty RAM.

If both sticks fail or both sticks pass. do the same test but using a difference memory bank.

If they both failed before but now work then you have either a faulty memory controller (remebering that on some systems this is in the CPU) or a faulty mobo. Conversely, if they both worked before and now both fail, then you can assume the same.

I might put the voltage up and they are 4.4.4.12 atm!

I tried the ram removing etc and it didnt change anything.

It's definately OS related from what i gather after a few google searches.
