BSOD Help

[tomw92]

Hi guys,

trying to see what is the cause of my bsod and Speccy is reporting my RAM to be at this speed. Is this right?

I haven't overclocked anything

Motherboard: Asus M4a785td-v evo
CPU: Phenom II x4 955
RAM: G.Skill F3-12800CL9 (667MHz) 2GB x3


At first I thought it was my year old SSD however sometimes the system doesn't bsod it just freezes and the display goes haywire!

Other times it will just reboot.

I've done a memtest and everything seems to be good there.

Thanks,

Tom

Dowload CPU-Z, run it, click on the Memory tab and double the speed it says.

That'll be what speed your RAM is running at.

FYI 3 sticks of RAM isn't ideal in a dual channel system.

I do have another (was 8gb) but I took it out as I thought it was causing the bsods lol.




Which one will it be?

669.6MHz x 2.

Cheers, sorry for being a bit dumb, I know little about ram!


I have two of these kits:

G.SKILL RipJaw 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit

Now 669.6*2=1339.2MHz, could this be the reason why I'm crashing so much?

If so, how could I fix it?


EDIT: also found these stats from the manufacturer:

Memory
– 4 x DIMM. Max 16GB
DDR3 1800(O.C.)/1600(O.C.)/ 1333 / 1066 un-buffered ECC/Non-ECC memory

Don't know if that helps?

It's been doing it for a couple of weeks. No hardware changes. Got so fed up that I reinstalled Windows - which hasn't helped.

Checked all cables to ensure they are correctly inserted, re-seated everything and checked drivers.




ntoskrnl.exe seems to be the cause of all of them.
