I have a relatively new PC I built myself about a year ago that's never really had any kinds of issues. It has an i5 2500k not overclocked and the temperatures are fine idle and under load, I have a GTX 590 also never overclocked using the latest non-beta drivers on Windows 7 64 bit.

About a week ago I was playing Guild Wars 2 and the screen went black on me, I could hear audio still, but I had to force a reboot. Then I was watching a stream of a game tournament using Firefox and nothing else going on, and a similar thing happened where the image on the screen froze, but the audio was still going on in the background. Then it happened again about an hour later but I got a blue screen this time:

STOP: 0X000000F4 (0X0000000000003, 0XFFFFFA800979E5F0, 0XFFFFFA800979E800, 0XFFFFF800037D9240)

PHYSICAL MEMORY DUMP FAILED WITH STATUS 0XC0000010.

I reinstalled Windows 7 64-bit about an hour ago. Left my room for a bit and came back to see the PC restarted itself...likely another blue screen but I hadn't changed the setting yet to disable automatic restarts. I used Blue Screen Viewer to try and see but nothing was there so the dump likely failed again. I'm going to take my PC apart and reseat everything but I wanted to post this first and get any ideas from you guys. Thank you for any help.

Edit: I tried googling the Stop code I was given and didn't find anything interesting, but googling "PHYSICAL MEMORY DUMP FAILED WITH STATUS 0XC0000010" comes up with quite a few results, including a lot that have the same exact Stop code as mine. So others have dealt with this before, but I don't see any solid solutions.

Hi

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff560372(v=vs.85).aspx

This is a hardware device, its driver, or related software may have caused the error

As the first time you experienced this was while you were gaming it may have been caused by the GTX 590 driver becoming unstable or corrupted; as this has occured again since a new install of the OS, you could try reverting to a previous version of the vga cards WHQL driver -
available here - http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us [to rule this out]

Use this guide by erocker to uninstall the drivers - http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52502

As the document suggests run a scan on your hdd for errors [change/swap the cable just to rule out any file corruption issues]

You may also want to check your memory settings as this is a common course of BSOD, check all memory modules [run with one stick at a time]

atb (all the best)

sounds like your RAM is failing. make sure its set up properly in the BIOS (voltages, timings and MHz all manually set)

I had 2 64GB Corsair SSDs in a RAID 0 array while this was happening. I didn't know what the problem was so I tried dissolving the array and reinstalling Windows again on 1 of the SSD's. It crashed yet again, what I ended up doing was taking both of them out and putting an older Intel SSD I wasn't using in there. I installed Windows yet again on that, and haven't crashed in 4 days...however I feel like the PC still isn't performing 100% the way it should.

I play League of Legends, which if any of you here play it you know it's a relatively non-taxing game, especially for an i5 2500k and a GTX 590. Every now and then I get this random FPS drop, nothing major but I notice it and it lasts 1-3 seconds. That didn't used to happen prior to all these issues, so it makes me wonder if something is still wrong.

Is there any way to run a memtest without a USB or anything? I don't have any external storage devices. But considering the blue screens/crashing have been completely gone since I swapped SSD's, that would mean they're the cause..right? Or is it possible the Corsair SSD's I took out are okay something else is still wrong?

Edit: The Corsair SSD's passed all the tests I ran using HD Tune. Not sure if there was a better test I should have used.

Edit 2: I remember when I was swapping the hardware around and I tried to boot, it took longer than usual. There was a code in the bottom right corner during bootup that I think said 99 then switch to A2 and got stuck on that for almost a minute. It only happened that one time, was it because of the new hardware? I have an Asrock Extreme3 Gen3 motherboard if that matters.

oh. i had similar on an SSD when mine died, actually.

system stutters, eventual BSOD's, then the death of the drive.


got a mechanical drive, even an old/slow one to test with?

I only installed Windows on 1 of the 2 Corsair drives after getting rid of the RAID 0, I should have tried it on the other but I skipped that and installed it on the Intel one I mentioned. I may have been overstating the fact I think there's a problem. It's extremely minor and something I've already gotten used to. I'm not sure why I would get a tiny FPS drop in League of Legends every now and then, but it doesn't seem like a huge deal and outside of that I haven't really seen any issues.
