Hi all,
I've had my system running for about a year (see sig), though about 2 months ago changed from xp 32 to vista 64. Generally an improvement
Though in the last week, it started having serious issues, sometimes just black screen and other times bluescreening, after being running for anything from 15 minutes to 4 hours. The bluescreen errors were generally MEMORY_MANAGEMENT or ecache.sys, which I understand is a module that caches stuff to memory.
I have 4 x 1G memory sticks so I've tried with 2 and it's more stable (though never perfect). I've also turned off my overclock, though the memory was never overclocked or overvolted. Booting to XP, it doesn't have this problem. I'm guessing it's either the RAM or the motherboard, though I've tried both sets of 2 1G sticks in individually and the problem occurs with both. With all 4 in, it's incredibly unstable.
Has anyone else come across this before? Any idea what's causing it, or how to mitigate it, and why it seems vista specific?
Thanks in advance
