Blue Screen Fiesta/Win 7

Probably the best place to start would be the system specs:

• Motherboard
• Processor
• Memory
• Hard Drive
• What Version Windows 7

You may also want to start with a Memory Test. You mentioned memory management so I would think about looking here first without knowing a whole lot about your pc. Before running this test make sure you try reseating your memory in your motherboard.

Go to Memtest.org and download the precompiled iso in zip format.

Burn the iso image ( once unzipped ) to a CD. Reboot your computer with this CD in the drive and boot from the CD. You will see a screen similar to:



Let memtest run a full and complete test on your memory. If it comes up with a clean bill of health then we will look elsewhere.

Hope this helps,

I tried it 3 different times and the memtest never runs. I unzipped it, opened the iso, put the contens of the folder on the cd, then I restarted it and changed the BIOS to boot from cd and nadda.
I even tried putting the ISO, the folder, and the stuff in the folder on a CD and it still didn't do anything.

you need to burn the iso to cd, not just the file itself. To see how to do this take at look at our guide;

Thanks, that worked. All tests passed. No errors.

Can you give us the exact errors?

You mean for the blue screen?

Edit: Just did it again. I thought maybe it wouldn't do it anymore but when I tried to open Yahoo Messenger and sent someone a message it did it. There wasn't any specific error on it this time. Firefox is crashing all the time too.

Edit: Did it again. I was only using firefox this time. Again it was another MEMORY_MANAGEMENT error.

Edit: Did it again when I was messeing with firefox. The error this time was PFN_LIST_CORRUPT

Edit: This time I was using Internet Explorer and it started messing up too. Blue screen with another PFN_LIST_CORRUPT

Just wondering if you have overclocked this at all?

Can you download SpeedFan and post a screen cap of your temps.

Nope haven't really done anything to it. As I said I just installed it day before and I just installed a few programs and games from steam. thats it. It only seems to do it when Im using my browsers or yahoo messenger. I played bioshock a long time last night and didn't have any problems whatsoever. It's weird. Let me know if you can't read that.

Do you think it would be easier to just uninstall windows 7 and reinstall it?

I really don't think that uninstalling and reinstalling Windows 7 will make any difference.

The thing that sticks out the most with me is the PFN_LIST_CORRUPT error you stated.

I did some research about this and everything pointed to a defective or improper driver. Defective meaning not exactly "Windows Hardware Quality Lab" quality. With that being said, I would recommend going to Asus' website and looking up the motherboard and downloading the Asus recommended drivers for your motherboard and installing them on your computer.

I would also recommend going to ATI's website and updating the video driver for your Ati video card. It's very possible that from the time the motherboard was manufactured and the time you installed with Windows 7 64Bit, the drivers have been updated to take care of your problem and to meet Windows Hardware Quality Lab specifications. This could also be true for your ATI drivers.

The only other thing I can think of that may have lead to this problem would be the possibility of a Windows update that was installed after you were using your computer. It's not often that this happens, but it has happened often enough and to enough people that I mention it.

Hope this helps,

Ok Ill do those this evening. One thing I like to mention, which is weird, is I just played Crysis on High quality without any problems whatsoever. Such a weird bug.



Edit: I installed the latest ATI and ASuS drivers (man that asus sure doesn't make it easy). We will see what happens i gues.

Still gettin blue screens. It seems worse whenever I first start it up but later in the day it's not so bad. Was another memory_management

This is getting frustrating as [bleep]. I'm tempted to just reformat the computer and reinstall windows from scratch...
