RAM IS CAUSING BSODS.

comeradealexi · 15 Jul 2008 at 18:21

i posted a lot of info here already but i needed to start a new thread.

with 3 sticks of ram i dont get a bsod and when i used this new 4th stick with the 3 i get IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error.

i rang crucial and they said "we cant find anything for DFI motherboards on our database" and "your board probbably cant take 4 gb ram"

so they were no help at all and now i dont know what to do

any help would be appreciated,

Try increasing the RAM voltage a little with 4 sticks in. Or loosen the timings.

Your RAM timings are actually numbers like 2-3-2-5 and refer to the number of ticks (CPU cycles) it takes for memory to get ready to do something on behalf of a request from the system.

Try slightly higher values than currently set. Maybe even lower the RAM speed a bit. From say 800mhz to 700.
