I have just purchased another 2 gig of gskill pc6400 NR last week, and it was fine running alongside my other 2 gig of the same stuff.
But now all of a sudden both, xp and vista are crashing. I cant understand it, its been perfectly stable for days. I blue screened crash in vista and got a page file in a non paged area message, this relates to ram?
I run it at spec 5/5/5/15 no increase in volts, and am now running memtest. I hope my ram isnt at fault, but why would both os crash on separate drives?
EDIT:
Fails memtest, tons of errors. Now trying it at spd settings, hoping it might be ok. Im gutted.
EDIT 2:
I have ran memtest now for an hour with ram at spd and it has passed. Was it the timings?
Goddamitt its failing memtest and the pc is crashing now.. oh crap.
1 module is definatly bust, fails memtest straight away. I tried the rest and they were fine, but when I try all fine ones together I get a page fault crash.
How can something thats worked faultlessly here for days and days suddenly go **** up?
A little help here wouldnt go amiss guys. Anyone used Gskill rma before? what are they like?
