Error encountered during memory dump, prior to and following RAM replacement.
Error encountered during memory dump, prior to and following RAM replacement.
Good Morning!
I began experiencing random BSODs while playing... world of warcraft (classic 2004).
I thought it might be related to RAM since my system is about five years old and I've only been using 32GB of RAM for a long time—CPU and GPU have also been lightly overclocked for several years.
I’m definitely not a tech expert and don’t know what I’m dealing with! The new RAM seems to be causing more BSODs, which makes me think there might be a deeper problem.
Memtest86 passed, Win Memory Diagnostic failed, Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool passed—could it be the power supply? Any tools you recommend to check?

32gb x 4 ? Meaning 128gb RAM - correct?
Confirm the motherboard's supported RAM and configurations using its QVL.
Is the new RAM a matched pair for dual-channel operation?
Identify the source of the RAM information.
Check if the installation followed the instructions in the motherboard's User Guide/Manual. (Some boards need the first installed RAM in a particular slot, often DIMM_A2.)
Review the Reliability Monitor for any error codes, warnings, or events recorded before or during BSODs.

I previously set up Dimm_A1 and would... turning it off and reinserting it seems to resolve the input error?
I noticed my system worked well with two slots for several years, then experienced BSODs, but still crashed even after replacing new RAM.
Reliability monitor is available via Google Drive if needed, along with a few dump files (the last five are lost).
Event viewer typically records these errors:
The computer restarted after a bugcheck. The specific error was: 0x0000001a (0x0000000000009696, 0xfffff40060a4f3a0, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved at: C:\Windows\Minidump\022425-10625-01.dmp. Report ID: 5653dccc-4794-4604-bc16-802d34f5b6c6.
This issue likely occurred if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
PSU: Original intended for construction - approximately five years old. Is this accurate?
PSU might be reaching or approaching its end-of-life specifications, beginning to experience instability and failures.
Ignoring the current RAM capacity requirements for now, it’s worth noting that the extra power needs from the additional RAM—even if not immediately obvious—could have surpassed a critical wattage limit that the PSU can no longer support, particularly during high-demand periods.
It’s also probable that much of the newly added RAM remains unused.
Monitor actual RAM consumption using Task Manager and Resource Monitor.
Regarding physical installation changes like adding RAM, I’m uncertain.
Start by consulting the motherboard’s User Guide or manual for guidance.
Refer to the manufacturer’s website to verify that the new RAM is compatible and properly configured.
Examine Reliability Monitor and Event Viewer for more information on BSOD occurrences.
The minidumps might be helpful, but other experienced users here are better equipped to interpret them. I’ll let those who wish to contribute do so.
Using only 2 sticks from slot A2 and B2, then placing them in slot 4.

Additional update: Windows mem diagnostic failed on 3/5 reports with new RAM, and 4/5 with old RAM. Memtest86 failed on 1/5 reports with new RAM, and 3/5 with old RAM. How would you determine it's a different hardware component? I'm frequently encountering memory error bugcheck (1a) and pfn error. Also, after checking reliability history, it appears the RAzer Cortex was updated about 12 hours before the issue. Do you know that Cortex can modify registry values to release memory? Could that be the cause?
Good Morning!
I began experiencing random BSODs while playing... world of warcraft (classic 2004).
I thought it might be related to RAM since my system is about five years old and has only been using 32GB of RAM for a long time—CPU and GPU have also been lightly overclocked for several years.
I’m definitely not a tech expert, so I’m not sure what I’m dealing with! The new RAM seems to be causing more BSODs, which makes me think there might be a deeper problem.
Memtest86 passed, the Windows memory diagnostic failed, and Intel’s diagnostic tool came through—possibly a power supply issue? Any tools you could use to check?
Moving RAM around didn’t help, and it’s strange the issue kept happening before and after installing the new RAM. This makes me suspect another hardware problem.
Reliability History shows my first bugchecks were recorded as 0x0000001e on January 27th.
I can’t force a BSOD; it happens randomly, whether I’m idle or playing intense games like Gray Zone, Tarkov, or Monster Hunter Wilds Demo for a while.
I notice the Razor Cortex accessed the Registry to modify files just before the problems started—would a system restore be the right solution?

(I find the timings table to look odd since it’s showing different values—but I’m not an expert 😊)
Ensure only one thread is included unless you wish for a messy outcome.
Is the new RAM a 4-stick package or two sets of two sticks? Run memtest to check. Place one stick of the new RAM in slot A2 and proceed.
