BSOD around every 30 hours on custom computer, may be Outlook issue
Hello there, first time posting on the forums.
I built my computer a few months ago (July) and have been experiencing a BSOD very often recently. I wasn't doing anything different when it started happening, no new programs or anything.
IT DOES SEEM TO HAPPEN MORE WITH MICROSOFT OUTLOOK OPEN. Not sure if this is a coincidence. It does happen even with Outlook closed.
Here's the log:
Attachment 346860
Much appreciated!

You have had many BSODs. I did not check the cause of everyone, but checked at least 6. They were all consistent, so I am pretty sure of the cause. It seems to be a memory problem. We need to test your ram.
Using Memtest
Run for at least 8 passes, for each stick.
Then run for at least 8 passes, using a good stick and testing each slot.

|19 Jan 2015
Thank you for the info!
I gave Memtest86+ a shot and left it going overnight. I got overloaded with errors in the morning, but couldn't figure out how to create a log of the errors to reference here...
I suppose the fact that there are errors is enough. I'll take out one of the RAM sticks and run a new 8 pass test tonight.
I'll post an update here tomorrow.
|My System Specs
|19 Jan 2015
If you are showing errors with the sticks, best to buy new ram. It is cheap.
If the problem is with the MB, then you will have a big expense
My guess is that you have a problem when using Outlook is because too much memory is required.
|My System Specs

Thought I would give this thread some closure...
My new 2 sticks of 4gb RAM finally arrived, so I took out the old RAM and threw in the new one. It seems to be running smoother than ever, and after a 2 pass memtest there are 0 errors. With the bad RAM, I had a hundred errors in the first pass.
It's a shame because I just got the Corsair RAM recently (July), but I'll send it in for repairs.
Thanks for all the help!

Vueling and Catalonia together for a workshop in Cagliari
Vueling and the Catalonia Tourist Board joined their forces for a workshop hosted yesterday by Cagliari Airport. 60 travel agents and T.O. attended the meeting in order to learn more about strategies and policies aimed at encouraging travel and tourism in both Sardinia and Catalonia. Di Perna for Vueling and Teixidor for Catalonia were more than satisfied with the active participation of local operators at the event.
To Florence and Barcelona with Vueling
Vueling will resume its flights from Cagliari Airport: over Easter and during summer the Spanish low cost carrier will operate a new route to Florence. From June to August 2014, there will be 6 flights a week to and from Florence (no availability on Thursday). As in 2013, Vueling will also connect Cagliari to Barcellona El Prat starting in June and increasing the frequencies to a maximum of 4 flights a week.

It appears two local Republican lawmakers will be alone on the ballot.
Tuesday was the deadline for anyone wishing to run in the primary on May 18. No one filed against state Rep. Carl Walker Metzgar or U.S. Rep Bill Shuster, though it was possible candidates submitted paperwork so close to the deadline that their names were not included on the unofficial list.
In the 32nd District, state Sen. Rich Kasunic is being challenged again by 67-year-old Connellsville Township businessman Ronald L. Gallo.
This time, Gallo is running against Kasunic in the Democratic primary. In 2006, Gallo ran as a Republican and received 32 percent of the vote with his "jobs not welfare" campaign.
Kasunic, 63, is running for his fifth term in office. He served in the House for six terms before choosing to run for the Senate in 1994. The 32nd District includes all of Fayette County and parts of Somerset, Washington and Westmoreland counties.

Now for part 2 in our continuing series on cables and connectors.
RCA: The same physical cable used for video, the RCA audio cable carries one channel of analog audio. For every channel of surround sound, you need a separate RCA cable. So, 5.1 surround sound will require six RCA cables. They can be susceptible to interference. Typically, the left channel is color coded white or black while the right channel is color coded red. Yes, it's worth it to buy a higher quality RCA cable and avoid the flimsy budget one.
S/PDIF stands for Sony Philips Digital Interconnect Format. It's a digital format that can be carried over an optical cable (TOSLINK) or a coax cable with RCA connectors. There is no difference in the actual information carried in either type of cable. The optical cable is immune to electro-magnetic interference but cannot be bent at hard angles. The RCA cables are usually color coded orange. S/PDIF was a step forward since it combined multiple audio channels into one cable. However, audio formats such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio do not work with S/PDIF. Blu-ray players land up downgrading the signal into Dolby Digital. Click here to learn what you missing out on if you do this. This has more to do with incompatiblities around copy protection than it does with bandwidth. As a result, you need to either go back to RCA cables or use HDMI when outputting lossless audio.
HDMI: See Part I
While I was able to rank video cables from best to worse, it's not as applicable with audio cables. Use what works best for your situation. For example, I connect my TiVo Series3 to my receiver with an optical TOSLINK cable. Since Dolby Digital is the best audio it can output, I am not losing any sound quality. It also saves me from running lots of RCA cables. Ideally, I would use HDMI, but my receiver can't take HDMI. This forces me to use lots of RCA audio cables to connect my blu-ray player to my receiver. Ironically, it will all be wireless one day which will make this post obsolete.

Admit it, we are all subject to overthinking things. There are many examples worldwide of healthcare branding that fall prey to the symptoms of overthinking. The most of our concerns are about how we believe people will react to our strategy and whether or not they'll have the ability to put "2 and 2 together." But, the hard fact is that people simply do not think about things the same way we do.Claim your FREE Practice Diagnosis
Here are some examples in hospital branding that have actually been the subject of overthinking:
Name Changes
We have worked with 3 organizations this past year that were assessing name modifications and suggestions for hospital centers or branded business. A great deal of quality research was conducted and extensive customer interviews were held. Not remarkably, most people liked the names they were most familiar with and revealed the desire to have them included into brand-new branding techniques. Research study can be equally confirming as it is illuminating.
Playing with Social Media
Many healthcare organizations that continue to think through every possible unfavorable ramification in releasing an aggressive digital or online strategy. As a result, they never left the dime and competition now owns strong digital presence and keywords. Contact us at PracticeBloom if you need help with your hospital marketing strategy.
Graphic Standards
Does the name come over the line or the line come under the name? Graphic standards are paramount for growing organizations; however, most are developed with the company in mind, not the customer. Focus group participants plainly report: "Tell us who you are and where you are" and "keep it simple."
Marketing Initiatives
Stakeholders wish to be educated about various marketing initiatives. It's the "fun" part of the business and who does not delight in seeing their company's name out in the neighborhood. They likewise desire to be inspired, and have a much better understanding of exactly what it implies for them in their everyday work activities.
There are numerous other examples of crucial efforts that frequently get caught in our own analysis-paralysis. Simply keep in mind the number from Yankelovich– your customer audience is hit with over 3,000 messages every day. Your task should be to make ideas clear, appropriate, and simple– and not overthinking the story we want to inform as hospital branders.
Other reminders that make our messages more unforgettable:
- Use media efficiently: if customers are bombarded with messages, choose media channels and techniques that are most relevant to those you want to reach. Traditional and non-traditional media can be extremely targeted to better the odds of messages being observed.
- Engage, do not sell: branding is a heartbeat, not a chest beat. Remember "function benefits, not features." Ideas around love, loan, health, profession, hopes, and dreams are what get people's attention.
- Be imaginative and innovative: individuals will see your messages if they stand apart and capture their imagination. Usual, same old is, well, same old.

Pricehare is a tool which will track price changes in products.
A few months ago I released Pricehare, a simple tool which will email you when the price drops on a product you are watching.
I came up with the idea after repeatively visiting a website to check the price of a product. I then wrote a small script which would do this for me, notifying me when the content of the page changed. This initially concept worked really well, I managed to save 25% in a few days because of a flash sale. From this inital concept I built a much smarter algoritum which is able to automatically find the price on a page.
All you need to get started is a URL and an email address.
Pro Tip - It quickly proved way to complicated to add everything I was looking at via URL so I also created a small bookmarklet a tiny JS bookmarket which will automatically add a watch for the page your on.

It is 2007, the year of expect the unexpected in The Amazing Hunt.
First, the weather is just unexpectedly cold. Hopefully the weather will get better in time for our first race on Granville Island on January 27th.
Second, as promised, there are two new elements coming to the races this year. The unexpected thing is that rather than revealing them on the race day, I am going to tell you the big secrets now! I call them DOUBLE TWISTS POWER, and now they are activated!
The two new elements are INTERSECTION & MERGE. For avid Amazing Race fans, you probably know what INTERSECTION is. Well, expect another unexpected surprise! The INTERSECTION in the hunt will have no resemblence to the TV show whatsoever other than the name itself. So, what is it then? Here is a hint... it is like when you reach an INTERSECTION on the road. And this logic also applies to MERGE as well. The rest, you have to figure it out yourself...
Many past racers are coming back this year again for a shot at winning the title and the chances of competing in the championship race. However, things are not what it used to be anymore. With these two new elements, the dynamic of the race will change drastically as racers should come up with a new strategy in order to bring home the victory.
Will there be more twists and surprises other than the two new elements this year? I am afraid the answer is a huge "YES!"

Buying Your First Home
We'll walk you through buying your first home
We'll walk you through buying your first home
We know how difficult buying your first home can be. That's why we go to great lengths to help you on the journey. At BOQ, first home buyers can benefit from:
Every home buying journey begins with a clear budget in mind. Use our simple tools to help you work out how much you can borrow, what your repayments might be and work out your budget.
Obtaining a conditional approval is a great way of getting an actual estimate as to how much you can borrow and finding out whether you will be approved for a loan. It is also a great way of showing real estate agents that you are a serious buyer and can speed up the finance application process once you have signed the contract of sale.
Chat to us about obtaining a conditional approval at BOQ. We will assess your income and financial obligations and provide conditional confirmation as to how much you can borrow. This is valid for up to 3 months but can also be renewed.
The minimum, home loan deposit you should have is at least 5% of the purchase price of the property. However, Lenders Mortgage Insurance will apply if your deposit is less than 20%, which is a one-off fee that covers us against loss if you default on your repayments. This fee is added to your loan amount and allows you to borrow more than 80% of the property value for home loans.
Government grants are a great way to receive financial assistance for buying your first home. However, depending on where you buy, your eligibility requirements and amount you may be entitled to varies from state to state. For more information on the first home owners grant, view our blog article here.
In addition to your home loan deposit, ensure you have also budgeted for the upfront costs that come with buying a home, which include:
Use our Stamp Duty Calculator to work out how much stamp duty will be payable on the purchase of your home.
Required if you have less than 20% home loan deposit.
For completing conveyancing and title searches on your home.
A report on the structure and condition of your home.
An independent valuation of your home.
Hiring removalists or a truck to help you move into your new home.
Choosing the right first home loan is just as important as finding the right first home for you. Your home loan needs to have all the features that suit your personal circumstances and those that will help you pay off your home sooner.
Whether you have a clear idea on the home loan you want or you would like to speak to an expert on your options, our home loan experts will recommend the best home loan for your individual circumstances. Our article on different home loan structures provides more information between fixed rate and variable rate loans.
Our most popular low rate loan, packed with features
If you're looking for a fully featured, cheap home loan with a low rate, our Clear Path Variable Rate Home Loan is for you!
Know what your repayments are for peace of mind
A fixed rate home loan gives you the certainty of knowing exactly what your repayments will be for up to 5 years, while protecting yourself against any potential interest rate rises.
Once you've found your first home and have reached an agreement with the seller, the settlement process begins. On settlement day, your legal and financial representatives will ordinarily meet with the seller's representatives to transfer the ownership of the property from the seller to the buyer. The settlement date is set in the contract of sale, and is typically between 30-90 days.
To prepare for settlement, you'll likely need to do the following:
We're here to answer any questions you may have.

The Breathtaking Beauty of Mount Kenya
For many decades, Mount Kenya climbing expeditions have been the beautiful tourist attractions for many. You will most definitely be eager to see the highest mountain in Kenya and the second-highest in Africa after Kilimanjaro. It can be just described as an area of enchanting beauty, and beautiful sights since the mountain offers this with an amazing zeal.
Mount Kenya is characterized by a series of peaks which are naturally crowned with snow, and its slopes are covered with forests. Here you may perform adventurous activities, as the 5199 meter (17,057 ft) high summit is a tough technical climb. Mount Kenya presents the perfect destination for the experience. It's an extinct volcano with a few trees half a year old. Straddling the Equator, the mountain provides a unique mosaic of forest, moorland, stone, and ice, and is crowned by the glittering twin peaks of Batain (5,199m) and Nelion (5,188m). Regarded as the sacred home of Ngai, God of the Kikuyu men and women, Mount Kenya is Kenya's premier mountain, a climbers mecca, as well as the state's namesake. Mount Kenya is a favorite destination for a holiday. It is located 175km north of Nairobi and is readily accessible from Nanyuki, through the Naro Moru gate or Sirimon gate. Travelers from the Meru/Embu region can use the Chogoria gate.
Climbing higher up the slopes the state side is scenic, with a green carpet of tea plantations, coffee shrubs, and macadamia trees. The atmosphere is tantalizingly new with clear rivers running in the slopes, crystal-clear cold water gushing from the woods, skirting the farms and down into the plains. High above the tea farms, the woods line to create the skyline and act as mega-sponges, providing the fresh water and also eye-catching waterfalls.
The Chogoria route is reported to be the most scenic path to the peaks together with the noise of the water at each step along the way. Walking down the slope is a dam and then a few steps away, a stunning waterfall named Owinga gushing across the rocks to crash in the bottom and continue its journey down the mountain. It's the River Mara.
The street from Embu into Meru is filled with scenic drives, bends, and twists and large bridges across yawning rivers, giving the nation its hydro-electric power. Elegant raffia trees grow from the banks, their leaves, reputed to be the biggest in the plant kingdom, crossing the heavens. Meru National Park is all about a short drive from town with the road out of Meru lined with the old forest filled with the grand massive Meru oaks.
The benefit of using the Nanyuki side is that it's you can sample the joys of the two Mt. Kenya and the Aberdares. Nanyuki is a classic colonial town which has many holiday facilities that can cater for different budgets. For those keen on wildlife viewing, the Mt. Kenya National Park might not be the best as it is heavily forested and difficult to observe the animals.
