Is there anybody in the UK who has moved from Windows to Android, and has a Lumia 950 sitting in a draw gathering dust? My 640 is too old to receive the next big update, but I want to stay in the ecosystem as long as I can as I really like the OS. I'd pay carriage.

Pleeeeease post again once you try some more RAM and a PSU. I'd really like to know if this resolves the problem for you. I can't really justify spending another $100 on new hardware on the off chance that it fixes the problem, and most of my friends have laptops or older PCs so I can't swap any...

Re: BSOD when 16GB RAM installed (but not 8GB) This cannot be a PSU problem for the simple reason that it only effects Windows 10. Windows 7 runs smoothly. A power problem would also be evident during times of heavy load, like gaming. I pulled my sound card, and a second HD that I was using...

It's not the sound card (Which is 1 of two Pre-Windows 7 components in my PC, the other being a WD disc). I physically removed the card and the old disc which I was using as a data volume, and ghosted the software, and I got a BSOD at the usual time. When I put the card back in I got a...

Re: BSOD when 16GB RAM installed (but not 8GB) I've removed the sound card, and an HD that I was using as a data volume, and I've uninstalled about 85 entries from Ghost which is also several years older than the PC. I did a standard shutdown and powered the PC back up and there were no error...

I've checked the firmware, and the BIOS. All are at the most current version. I checked the voltage, the BIOS confirms that it is at 1.5v, and the Windows diagnostics software says that it is also at 1.5V CPU and RAM are both being correctly reported in BIOS and in Windows. If it were a...

I'm going to have to disagree with you quite vociferously on this one. Software frequently - By Design - will check the current date\time and will react differently depending on what it sees. My computer probably performs several dozen time\date checks on boot. For example, Windows 10 has many...

Re: BSOD when 16GB RAM installed (but not 8GB) Do you have a download link?

The fact that the error is only present on a clean boot says that this is software. The fact that changing the startup apps and services changes the error also says that this is software. If this was a OSU or RAM issue you'd expect an error when gaming or performing other high stress tasks...

I think that I put it in the first post. I only get the BSOD if 3 conditions are met 1) Both sticks of RAM are in 2) The last shutdown was clean 3) The PC has been switched off for some time (Typically, overnight. A couple of hours during the day doesn't seem to trigger it). If all 3...

I'm using the latest consumer release of Windows phone 10 on a Lumia 640 with Microsoft Maps. Is there any way that I can select my current location and then save it as a favorite so that I can find my way back to a specific location later on if I'm somewhere unfamiliar. I need to be able to...

The BSOD literally happens at the exact same time. every time. I mean to the exact second from when the power is switched on every single time that it happens. It's also rock solid stable during gaming, which is when you'd expect to see a PSU related problem, and doesn't happen after a dirty...

I originally thought that it was the paging file, and that the file for 16GB was getting corrupted due to it's size and it not writing properly. Yes, the PC is connected using a power bar which is unplugged at the wall, but if I shut the PC down for a couple of hours it boots up OK, it's only...

The error only seems to happen if the PC is switched off for a while, if I shut down now and come back in an hour it will boot perfectly. If I leave it off overnight it will BSOD when I switch the PC on first think in the morning. This means that I'm essentially only able to try one possible...

Re: BSOD when 16GB RAM installed (but not 8GB) Hi Sorry, a small mistake on my part. The CPU-Z is from when I first began trying to fix this problem. I've since upgraded the BIOS and have been on the latest version for a couple of weeks. The BSOD is on startup only, rather than shutdown...
