Hiya,
My PC has been working fine for a while till yesterday when I replaced my RAM.
My cpu was running o/ced at 3.8ghz for a few months and crashed rarely. After some tests I found out that one of my OCZ RAMs was faulty.
Four weeks later and I finally got the replacement. Installed it in the pc and that's where all the problems started.
PC hangs/crashes a minute after loading windows 7. Sometimes during the bios when I was trying to reset all the settings.
I've reset the pc at default/stock settings and it still crashes/hangs.
I even reinstalled Windows and I've gotten 2 different BSODs so far. One with the error message "page fault found in nonpaged area" and the other was something about "irq not less or equal"
I ram Memtest for an hour (1600 8-8-8-24-1n @ 1.66v) and it passed with no errors.
Any ideas what might be causing this? I initially thought it was the new RAM, but it seems to be doing Ok in Memtest86.
Advice appreciated.
PC specs:
Asus P6T SE (latest bios)
1x ATI 5870 (cat 10.10)
i7 920 @ stock atm.
3x 2gb OCZ 12800 (running at 1200mhz 8-8-8-24 @ 1.60 atm)
cpu watercooled, temps reach 70c tops with prime95.
Antec 850 PSU
