PC help please: Can you help me with this BSOD issue?

Question

Hi

For a while now my pc has crashed after a milli second BSOD appears. It always does this when my modem is connected and powered on.

Even in safe mode i get the BSOD (Safe Mode and Networking) and it states the problems there as DCOM (System error), VSS (Application error) and Eventsystem (App error). They all state they couldn't start in safe mode and thats why the pc crashes in safe mode

My error message states this:

DCOM got error "This service cannot be started in Safe Mode " attempting to start the service EventSystem with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{1BE1F766-5536-11D1-B726-00C04FB926AF}

Can anybody help or knows the route cause to this constant crashing and BSOD?

Could it be faulty memory? After running an indepth look at my pc with an analysis program, it came to my attention that I had 113 of 223MB memory available. Is this faulty simply because it doesnt state I have 223 out of 223MB RAM?

Is the prob a device driver in my modem?

Help?

Answer 1

You might have faulty memory but the fact that the OS is using 113mb of ram isn't an indication that the ram is faulty. If you have multiple sticks of ram in your computer, I would take all but one out and see if you can start the computer up like that. Then you can narrow down which stick is faulty. Usually, BSoD messages indicate problems with ram.
