Hi Bryan, I'll find someone who is more adept at explaining the memory voltage tweaking than I can.

When attaching dmp files, PLEASE put them in a single zipped folder
How about refreshing the information we have with a new run of the SF Diagnostic Tool (run as Administrator) and also please include CPUz images including all slots populated with memory from the SPD tab and export the HTML report from RAMMon. Links if needed are on the sticky that Elmer linked to already.
Yesterday was, Today is, but ahh Tomorrow...mystery, suspense and a promise of hope.
Thread Starter Here is the sf diagnostic and alll of the slots on the cpuz are the same so i only posted the one. Rammon file couldnt be uploaded so here u goRAMMon v1.0 Build: 1002 built with SysInfo v1.0 Build: 1019

The first number in the bugcheck params is the number of the trap (8 = double fault, etc) Consult an Intel x86 family manual to learn more about what these traps are.

scmndisp.sys 1/17/2007 2:48 The two drivers seem to be associated with your NETGEAR WNDA3100v2 N600 Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter and are relatively old go here and obtain the latest for your adapter WNDA3100v2 follow the instructions by first uninstalling any previously installed driver software package remove the USB dongle and reboot and check for the presence of those two files to confirm that the uninstaller took those two drivers with it during the uninstall process, if not rename the .sys extensions to .OLD before attempting to install the latest driver software package.
Although your dump file would suggest problems with memory, the involvement of NDIS.SYS as well as WiFiSvc.exe makes me suspect it may still yet be a drive issues with your USB WiFi Dongle.
As an alternative you may want to take this device completely out of the diagnostic equation by removing it from your system and not installing any software package for the time being. Just as an temporary experiment to determine if it is fact the culprit.
If Blue Screens persist after completing the above, you'll probably want to
Download Memtest86+ from this location here. Burn the ISO to a CD and boot the computer from the CD from a cold boot after leaving it off for an hour or more.
Ideally let it run for at least 7 passes / 6-8 hours. If errors appear before that you can stop that particular test. Any time Memtest86+ reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad Mobo slot. Perform the test RAM sticks individually as well as all possible combinations. When you find a good one then test it in all slots. Post back with the results.
See this Guide to using Memtest 86+
Sometimes you'll find that when all memory slots on your motherboard are populated with 1333 (667Mhz) memory or faster you may very well have to tweak your memory voltage. Whether of not you will be able to do so or not will depend on your System BIOS and the available options and you computer or motherboard documentation should suggest where to do this. The how to do this is a bit of trial and error.
In my case the BIOS supported small increments. It started with the default setting of 1.5v and I bumped it incrementally until arriving at 1.6v and system stability.
If MemTest86+ shows errors when testing all memory in all slots then perhaps an easier experiment to determine if a memory voltage increase is required might be to reduce the number of installed modules by half leaving half the slots empty and the remaining slots populated according to the instructions provided in your motherboard manual.
Keep us posted

hi, sorry for the long reply. been out of town and busy. anyways, updated netgear, uninstalled it, still no luck. and can u be a little more specific on the mem test? i downloaded one of them (not sure if right one) and then burned it and booted from cd but nothing happened. do i burn the zip file, one of the folders in the zip, or just one of the iso files? and if so which one theres 2? thanks for the help
Memtest86+ 4.20.
Download either of these, depending on whether you have 7-zip installed (first option):
Download - Pre-Compiled Bootable ISO (.gz)
Download - Pre-Compiled Bootable ISO (.zip)
Open the zip, and use ImgBurn to create a CD from the iso file, Do not just copy the iso onto a CD. Then:
Run Memtest86+ overnight, after your computer has been off for about an hour or two so it has a cold start. Ideally let it run for at least 7 passes / 6-8 hours. If errors appear before that you can stop that particular test.
Note!! Any time Memtest86+ reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad Mobo slot. Test RAM sticks individually. When you find a good one then test it in all slots. Post back with the results.

alright so i finally found the time and decided not to be lazy. i ran the test and this came up
seeing as there was almost 400 errors, i dont think thats too good. so what do i do next? do i have to take out every stick and see whats the faulty one? is this my fault, or the manufacturers? i bought it from dell and have had it for about a year and a half. angers me its already failing

I have a couple of questions about this;
1. Did you change the voltages at all, not just for the memory but for anything else?
2. Did you remove the memory at all?
3. Did you do a hard reset of the bios including pulling the battery?
4. Did you try to OC this system?
I noticed on your CPUZ SS that the voltage was 1.5v, that seems a tad high. Memory voltage should be no more than 1.5v either. If these are not adjustable on your board then I suspect you have a PSU issue that overvolted your memory and possibly your CPU. If you can access voltage settings through the bios I would recommend setting them at auto (if possible). If not take the unit back to Dell and have them check the system, you may end up needing to buy new RAM, but make sure the PSU is working correctly before installing it.
Thread Starter

No to all of those. How does one change the voltage settings?

It would be on a page called voltage in the Bios. I think you were running a Dell rig right? If thats the case the settings are usually not adjustable.
