    First off I have attached the minidumps that came from the blue screens, on top of that, im going to copy and paste the posts that i have put on other forums, though nobody has been able to give an answer =(, maybe you guys can! =)

    An Attempt was made to write to read-only memory was the blue screen i got today. I have gotten others and they are not all the same, the computer runs fine once restarted most of the time and it happens most of the time right when windows vista is done loading to desktop. Also it will make programs error out, like games or IE7 sometimes. I have tested my memory over night and nothing showed up as an error.

    The blue screen code i got today is:

    An Attempt was made to write to read-only memory

    0x000000BE (0x97ED73B4, 0x51FA4121, 0x9946C6EC, 0x000000B)

    Under load doesnt make it happen more or anything, it just randomly happens, sometimes when i start my computer up, sometimes while im in the middle of something, thats why i thought it sounded like memory to me. Sometimes just sitting at the desktop.


    I have attached all the minidumps that I have gotten and have renamed them the date they happened.


    Also I just got the same motherboard, though with a different CPU and different graphic card, right when i booted it up i went to the bios and it has the same bios (not updated) and it doesnt seem to lag like on this computer, does that mean it could be the motherboard? or the CPU or the graphic card perhaps or nothing to worry about?

    this computer has the following parts in it:
    Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131234
    graphic card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130082
    power supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153052
    CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103226
    memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134117
    hard drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136075

    The new computer has the same hard drive, memory, power supply, and motherboard, differences are that the new one has the 9600gt and the amd 64 5000x2 and the audio, the one that is having the problem has creative audigy SE and the new one is using onboard. I have tried the new power supply, while there was no error for the couple hours i used it, the voltages were the same and it checked out fine. When trying the new memory, i did see improvements it seemed on games, no error either, because it only happens randomly sometimes. I do see that like i said when in the bios on the new comp it doesnt have any lag to it just like regular. But on this computer it has a little lag between screens and stuff on bios. Suggestions? I would really appreciate it.

    I believe this to be a driver issue, more then likely video or motherboard. Start uninstalling drivers, things will be slow until the blue screen is gone. Start with video, then motherboard. I assume safe mode works, confirming this.

    yea safe mode boots up just fine, i mean even out of safe mode it boots up fine, most of the time, but just periodic blue screens, sometimes right when i boot up, sometimes while im just sittin on desktop or sometimes while on doing something like surfing the web or on a game or something.

    Being that there is literally a new cause for almost each crash...and a different stop error in most cases, I'd look at hardware.

    Of course, there was a stop error caused by your antivirus...Norton, what version?

    I could see that causing system wide problems.

    1. remove your antivirus.
    2. Do a ram check. http://www.majorgeeks.com/Memtest86_d4226.html Make sure you run it for several hours.
    3. Check your hard disk for errors via the manufacturer diagnostics, if they exist.
    4. Check for driver updates on all of your devices, but especially your network card and/or modem. DO you see a lot of these crashes while downloading or browsing the net?

    Thats how I would start looking at this.

    alright i will do all of these and see what comes out of it. Western digital does have a diag program to check sectors and ill do the thorough check and many hours of checking the ram, i have done a ram test once but only for about an hour, ill do it for like over night. Ill repost what i found tomorrow if you guys can stay in touch. Also, i do have alot of IE7 crashes, the unexpected crash crap that happens where it has to restart internet explorer when on the internet, not always but it does happen frequently when surfing the internet on IE7, though it also makes WoW (world of warcraft) crash alot when my other computers never have a problem. Then other times its completely fine once i restart. The Blue screens havent happened for opening a particular program but the version of norton that i have is a corporate edition since my 2007 version ran out of liveupdate so i just using this for now. Also I can RMA any part needed because the computer is only about 1 and a half months old.

    On the BIOS part, what about this, have you guys ever seen a slowness through screens on a BIOS, kinda like a lag, because on the new computer (same motherboard) i dont have this problem, and i have updated BIOS to even see if it would fix it, though nothing different.
