This morning I logged onto my computer and out of the blue it locked up on me. I restarted and it would not post. So I turned the back power switch off and waited about 15 minutes. I turned it back on and it loaded up. After about 5 minutes in Windows it locked up again on me. Then it wouldn't post and would not display any error codes on the LCD.
So I decided to start with the memory. I pulled 2 of the 4 sticks and it booted right up. Thinking maybe I got lucky and started to fiddle around in windows and got a BSOD. Now being a dummy I didn't put the sticks in dual channel but that shouldn't of caused a blue screen right?
So I dug out my Memtest 86 ISO and swapped the sticks. I've got the other 2 sticks running in dual channel mode right now. Currently 0 errors 32% through the test. Now after I complete this test I'm going to run the other 2 sticks and see if I get any errors.
Now if it was going into the windows the CPU still has to be good right? And I would assume that the board is good also. So this really leaves the memory and hard drives.
Is there anything I'm forgetting about while running diagnostics here? I've got my old PC booted up right now so I can at least get online. I'll report back after the first series of tests completes.
If both sets pass I guess I should try the other dimm slots to see if I got a bad slot causing the problem.
