Hello, my computer IS ******* ME OFF RIGHT NOW!!!
I am lucky if I can work smoothly with it for 20 minutes before it gives me a blue screen of death of some nonesense bullsh!t that does not even show up in the "system" part of the event viewer...
Maybe it is a hardware problem? perhaps the new 1GB ram stick that I added recently?
I havent installed anything lately and is there ANY way to find out what is going on and also there is a new device called VSO patin couffin engine showing up in device manager...
I dont know what is going on...
Running windows XP home
P4 1.5Gb DDR Ram 2.5Ghz

Please help!!! This is outragous!!!
P.S. Can it be caused by installed ram?

Here is the threat about the ram that got no response for a week:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hello, I know another person has a thread with exactly the same issue however we have diffrent motherboards so it might be diffrent problem anyways so my computer:
Intel P4 2.5Ghz
motherboard: GA-8S650GXM
Ram slots: 2 for DDR ram

OK so I had 764MB of DDR ram installed on the computer previously and decided to upgrade to 1.5GB by removing the 256 and adding a 1GB. So I get the 1GB Certified memory DDR 400Mhz Pc3200 RAM and install it in the first slot and the 512 Ultra DDR 400Mhz Pc3200 RAM in the second slot. And just remove the 256MB that use to be in the first slot...So I turn computer on and it is been the 2nd day with the new upgrade and every few hours I get atleast one of these:
1. Blue Screen of Death (sometimes says memory-guage-blah blah) (sometimes total rubish, sometimes IQRL or something... NONESENSE~)
2.Windows Crashes (cant exit anything, open anything, can ONLY move mouse) that last 1~3 minutes
3.Application crashes (random programs just close)
4.And this is a new one, a BSOD and in event viewer says "The Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s)."
5. Usual TCP/IP warning in event viewer "TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts."

So number 1, SPECIALLY 2, and 4 are new and happen in the course of 2 days of adding the new 1GB ram. So basically the computer not only did not improve in preformance...IT SLOWS DOWN, crashes, freezes and dreadful BSOD that no one understand.
This is NOT a virus, I know for a fact it is from the RAM added.
How do I fix it???
Thanks in advance!

My main problem right now: THE BSODs AND ERRORS!!! MAKE THEM STOP IM GOING CRAZY PLEASE!!!:embaras se

Problem 1 - Yes, try removing the newly installed memory and see if that helps. If it does, replace the old memory with the new memory (removing the old completel).

Problem 2 - Remove the newly installed memory. Get it replaced. Make sure your board can support this brand/speed memory.


Ali, are these your problems or are you reposting these issues to get addressed?

My original problem was some occasional hardware bsod that I thought occured right after the ram but now it is a new problem with random BSODs every 20min or so.
