Well, I can home today to find that my PC had BSOD (I left it on as I was uploading). I descided to re-run prime95 and it errored out almost instantly. So I removed my OC and tried again; same result. I concluded the issue must be with my RAM (is that a logical conclusion)?
Since then I RAM memtest with all the modules installed in my machine (3x2gb) and it has returned 6 errors!
I'm not entierly sure what to make of this. Is 6 errors bad or is a certain number to be expected?
I am currently running each stick through memtest individually per suggestion of a friend to see what they find.
Basically, is it safe to assume the cause of the BSOD was my RAM or should I be diagnosing the rest of the PC? Also, I assume that the 6 errors are an issue. Does anyone know a way of reading into the error codes given?
 
Hmm, ok. I'm going to wait and see if the indervidual stick tests return any errors and then I'll contact the manufacturer for their recommendation.
