Hey. I guess I am an intermediate level user. I have taken apart, added and upgraded components of my comp. Found out the hard way that dell likes it proprietary, after I bought a good power supply (added good vid card...wanted adequate juice)
Anyways. I have gotten two bs's with mem failure. a - PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA , and
a DRIVER_TRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ...memory dumps, then manually powered off.
I have run as much as I could of memtest86, about 3 hours, no errors, 3 passes. 8k,512k,1500mb ram. I am not sure which tests to select or how long to run.
Heat concerns....I have an internal fan for the video card, and the exhaust hood over the heat sink, meaning it has a small negative pressure. Did a complete cleanout inside a few hours ago, and saw that 4 caps along the heatsink, hood side, were bulging upwards slightly and had small amounts..a little drop size, of clay colored substance. dang. They could be my prob?
