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?
 
If you get any errors then my personal thought's would say your memory is faulty.

I had problems with my i7 build with 2 lots of faulty memory, the 2nd set did not show up in mem test.
 
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.
 
its more likely to be memory, but there is the chance of it being a memory controller issue. try upping cpu-nb volts a bit and see if that helps?
