@Boozad: I used your link to download Memtest86+, when I checked the picture I had taken the last time I ran Memtest I discovered I was using a different edition, Memtest86, both were on version 5.01 but I suspect that I wasn't seeing errors as I was using the non plus version. I google the...

I didn't think I would get time to do anything today, but I have reinstalled the defective ram and started Memtest86+ (v5.01) and the PC is just about to complete the first cycle. I'm going to bed now and expect a full 8 cycles to have been completed before I get up. I'll report back with my...

Ok. I'll give that a go. Once done, is there anything else I need to address? I'm quite certain that my RAM is defective, at least according to the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool, when that showed errors I swapped the RAM over using modules in another PC and restarted a few times, my TCG...

I had already run Memtest on a few occassions and my RAM passed everytime, the last time I ran it, I left it running for nearly 4.5 hours and allowed it to complete more than 4 cycles, but no errors showed up. I was running it from a bootable USB stick. MDSCHED on the other picked up errors...

I have another 8gb kit, I can swap out my current RAM with those to see if I still get the same issue. I'm quite surprised that it didn't show up under memtest and I'm certain that I had the same issue when I swapped the ram over before, but it wouldn't hurt to retest now. Or should I wait...

Just to update, I have completely uninstalled the IOBit software. I'll miss that little smiley face. :( But not for long. lol :p

Just to clarify, I'm not trying to argue with you, but I do need to ask questions about suggestions in order to better understand the answers so I can learn from them, I'll check out the forums with regards to IOBit and then uninstall it if necessary. Having previously uninstalled IOBit...

How recent are the reports of issues with IOBit? How many of my 28 minidump files are pointing to IOBit as the main cause, bearing in mind that only 9 of them were generated after I installed the IOBit software? I don't want to come across as someone that's dismissing sound advice, it's more...

No, I installed that on the 14th June and ran the driver booster which updated a number of drivers relating to ACPI, ASMedia XHCI controller, Generic IEEE 1667 ACT and Probe Silo, Generic USB Hub and Intel Family Chipset drivers. Altogether it updated about 26 drivers though some seemed to come...

I've been trying to figure this stuff out on my own for well over 6 months now, but the frequency of BSODs and timing seem increasingly random to me, as do the error messages, I've been getting errors with messages such as Bad_Pool_Header, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED and...

I'm using an old(ish) HP Laser network printer and this installed fine using HP's Unified printer drivers.

Possibly. I was having issues with updates not installing correctly when I first installed Win 8. Yesterday I had the message to say that Windows will restart in 15 minutes to complete an update so I restarted the pc. Once it restarted I got a message to say that windows needs to restart in two...

I've noticed this too. I have selected to delay an update but it restarted regardless, I also had a warning come up that it will restart my PC in two days in order to complete updates. With Windows 7 I would periodically go through manually updating my PC, usually on a Wednesday or Thursday, but...
