0x0000000A BSOD error

[geospace]

If you have errors on the memtest, you need to fix that first. That is the primary cause of the BSODs.

To solve that would I need to open up my hardware and manually check each RAM bar individually?

First make the 8 passes.
Then you open the comuter and test (with a good stick) each slot for 8 passes. This will let us know if it is the ram or the Motherboard slots.
Your report gave memory as the primary cause. Lets get that fixed and hopefully it will work. If it doesnt we will find a way to upadate the driver.

When you say "make the 8 passes" do you mean keep letting the Memtest run until I get 8 Passes?

and alright i'll try but i've never opened up a computer before or moved parts as well I hope I dont break anything

May I suggest that if you are uncomfortable with the procedure, get a friend to help. Allthough it is a simple procedure, you can cause major problems if not done correctly. There are little tricks that you may not be aware of, such as being grounded while in the area of the ram. Better get help.
Yes let it run for 8 passes.

Alright it's at 8 passes do I just reboot now?

I'm gonna get a friend to help me eventually so I wont be able to respond back to you with a answer for a couple of days

Dont worry about me. Take your time. Understand what your friend is doing.
Watch him and learn. Its really not hard, but it has to be done correctly.

Alright so do I end the memtest now cause it's already at 8 passes?

 

[richc46]

If you have 8 passes and it shows errors, the first part of the test is over. Now we have to find out are the sticks bad or the slots.
That is where your friend can help.
I have all types of material to show how its done, but best if you get help.

So I would end this Memory test at the moment and when my friend comes to help test each individual slot/ram stick I reopen the Memory test again?

 

[richc46]

You can shut down,


Since you are not familar with the procedure to remove ram, you may not know which stick is bad, your friend can help you with that too.

Each stick and each slot must be tested.

How would I be able to tell which one has the error by just looking at the Memory test?

EDIT:Oh alright thanks I didn't notice you changed your post

 

[richc46]

When I made the last post, I remebered that you are not familiar with removing ram, so you would not know
The next step is to test each stick and then to test each slot; you will need your friend for that.
I have included our tutorial on Memtest, everything is clearly explained.
You are doing very good.
I think that the BSODs were caused by the memory. Now just have to figure out how to fix it. Thats where your friend helps with the test.

Alright thank you very much I'm very grateful for all the help you given me so far and I'll try to get back to you when I find the source of the error.

 

[richc46]

If Your friend tells you to get more ram. no matter what he says, replace all, dont mix and match. If the slots are bad, then its bigger problems, but its usually the ram.
Good Luck

Just wondering, would this also most likely be the cause of my computer constantly restarting as well during startup?

 

[richc46]

You have your computer set to reboot when there is a problem. So thats what it does. If you have no other problems the reboot is caused by the memory.

 

[geospace]

So even if the error changes, like just now I had a BSOD with STOP: 0x0000001A instead of 0x0000000A, the source of the problem would still be the same?

 

[richc46]

All that I can tell you for sure is that if you have memory problems it can cause the computer to crash and restart.
Memory can cause a lot of problems and hence the different BC codes.

My friend noticed while taking out the ram sticks that they were extremely hot. Could overheating be a problem?

 

[richc46]

Your friend seems pretty good to notice the hot ram.
We cannot guess with overheating, it can really damage your compuer. Download and use this
