That may be your problem.


How did you fix the problem?

Re: New computer - Blue Screen Of Death! HELP PLEASE
 

There's a switch on my power supply for input 110V or 220V, it was switched to 220 while opening the CPU tower and we switched it back and it turned right back on.

Also, any luck/help with the shots of the MemTest?

Re: New computer - Blue Screen Of Death! HELP PLEASE
 

I just ran a quick google search with that MB and RAM combination, and it turned up a lot of forum threads all over the place from people with issues. I would guess it's a compatibility issue. Take this as a lesson learned... when building a system, a TON of research is involved in order to build one that is fully compatible and won't have any issues! Incompatible components are probably the biggest issue people see when putting together a new system.

I built one back in college that I researched like you wouldn't believe. Got all the parts, put it together, and the darn thing wouldn't even POST! After about a day and a half of scratching my head, I figured out that one of my IDE cards was shorting out a capacitor on the motherboard (bad placement of the Cap, if you ask me). Swapping that board into a different slot solved the problem, and I never had an issue with that system again (well, no hardware issues).

I was going to use it to help you determine how many mem cards you have (you said in an earlier post that you didn't know), and then help you identify which one(s) were giving the errors. But it's a moot point now. Use compatible memory.

I don't see any 4x8gb ram configurations on the QVL. There are a couple of 4x4gb. There's also a few 1x8gb. No multiple 8gb that I could find. You might try running with just a single stick of ram.

What did you need 32gb of ram for?

Re: New computer - Blue Screen Of Death! HELP PLEASE
 

The MemOK! button on ASUS motherboards appears to try to sequentially back off the memory settings until it can find a setting that boots. Based on the description in the manual, I'm not sure that it would help in the case of a computer that already boots.

Re: New computer - Blue Screen Of Death! HELP PLEASE
 

My dad when purchasing the components made sure to check the compatibility, but you could be right that it IS the RAM sticks. Is that what would trigger the BSOD error: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT? Can anyone try to dig up some info on what the BSOD error: PFN_LIST_CORRUPT means? Also, it just crashed again, but No error was listed on the BSOD. Just the usual "if this is your first time seeing this..." message. The BIOS on my ASUS MB is 0906, if that's any help.

Re: New computer - Blue Screen Of Death! HELP PLEASE
 

Looking in the ASUS manual, the CORSAIR 32 GB (4x8GB) IS listed, but as 1 or 2 mods. Not all four. Could this be the case? An electronic QVL does not list the CORSAIR 32 GB (4x8GB). The manual may have been updated, but the hardcopy does shot 32GB listed.

Re: New computer - Blue Screen Of Death! HELP PLEASE
 

Install one module, boot. See if it works.
If the first module does not work, set it aside and try another.

If one module works, install another module. Boot. See if it works.

If it does, stop. Be happy your setup works. 16gb of memory is more than enough for today's systems, and I wouldn't recommend using 3 of your 4 modules for symmetry reasons.

As you have it here, all 4 modules do not work.

Re: New computer - Blue Screen Of Death! HELP PLEASE
 

So we removed two of the four RAM sticks and for a little while it was working. After about an hour, it Blue Screened again, and this time the error was CACHE_MANAGER. Never saw this error before. Under the QVL the item no. of the RAM sticks we're using they're not listed. If anyone has any clue what this NEW error means, please provide it. It does look like the criminal is the RAM sticks, but I can't be sure. The comp crashed as I was running a MWB scan and re-downloading a game I deleted to prevent further crashes - with no avail.

Re: New computer - Blue Screen Of Death! HELP PLEASE
 

Would you please try one ram stick, and verify that it will run stable with just one

Re: New computer - Blue Screen Of Death! HELP PLEASE
 

Tomorrow my dad and I are going to do this. I looked at the QVL and our RAM sticks aren't listed. Other versions of the company, Corsair, are listed, but not our (4x8GB)- 32GB. It went from MEMORY_MANAGEMENT with four sticks in, to CACHE_MANAGER with 2 sticks in. I looked up CACHE_MANAGER and it says common causes are Insufficient physical memory (RAM -_-), Indexing, or Device drivers. My dad looked up the drivers earlier, and he couldn't click on "update drivers" because the option to do so was Ghosted out.

Re: New computer - Blue Screen Of Death! HELP PLEASE
 

Another thing to verify when installing RAM is the order you fill the slots. ASUS should have it listed in the manual for your mobo. Typically the slots closest to the CPU get filled first, but your results may vary.

Re: New computer - Blue Screen Of Death! HELP PLEASE
 

So, if we use one RAM stick at a time and none work, along with 2, 3, etc, we could try getting a QVL of RAM sticks and if the one we choose doesn't work, where would we turn next?

Re: New computer - Blue Screen Of Death! HELP PLEASE
 

You could return the memory you bought and purchase memory that is on the QVL. If you have a bad stick of RAM, most manufacturers have lifetime hassle-free warranties nowadays.

If it still does not function, you have a motherboard or CPU issue.

Memtest86+ and Prime95 are the first stability tests I perform on a build to ensure I have properly functioning components.
