CPU Fan error + BSOD

Hi All

A few months back I was getting a CPU fan error on start up. I would also get frequent BSOD when my computer was under load even though my cpu temp was running in the 50C range. So I replaced my Ram thinking the BSOD was unrelated. Kept getting BSOD so I replaced my CPU fan.The fan error went away and so did the BSOD.

Recently I upgraded my GPU from the ati 4870 to the 6950. That was two weeks ago. Now in the last three days I have had cpu fan errors every boot and now two BSOD both while playing the new elder scrolls 5.

Not sure what to make of this.

Here are my specs

Asus m3a32 mvp Delux
AMD x2 6400
8gig ddr2 800mhz
Cooler master 1000W PSU
Cooler master cpu fan
ATi 6950
audigy 2 sound card (yes i know its ancient)
windows 7 64 bit

Yup. Just follow my quote from John:

If you have been getting blue screens then do the following.

Download BlueScreenView
No installation required.
Unzip downloaded file and double click on BlueScreenView.exe file to run the program.
When scanning is done, go Edit>Select All.
Go File>Save Selected Items, and save the report as BSOD.txt.
Open BSOD.txt in Notepad, copy all content, and paste it into your next reply.

Memtest is still going started it at 10 am. Not sure how you install ram improperly? It's in the proper slot / channel. And has worked for a while. It error went away after installing a new CPU fan then came back several months late.
 
If it isn't seated correctly, or the spring clips aren't both locked... All it takes is a little flexing of the board, vibration from the fans, etc...
 
It's installed. Plus I would have continued toget the error after the new fan was installed. What about proximIty to the fan? There maybe a quarter of an inch clearance between the fan and the first ram chip

There's no space between my HSF and my RAM. I don't have an issue.
 
Check the BIOS and see if there is an option for memory remapping somewhere. It's possible that might be causing an issue.
 
See what the setting is and if there is one, just change it and see if it makes a difference.
