I have a system with the following specs:
2 x Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C3 667MHz x- 4GB
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Lian-Li PC-7B PLUS II Aluminium Midi-Tower Case
BFG GeForce 8800 GTX OC 768MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)
Noctua NH-U12P CPU Cooler (Socket AM2/LGA775)
Corsair HX 620W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB)
Has been working fine for a year or so then recently I got a load of BSOD and after testing the Ram with Memtest and in a different PC it appeared that 2 sticks had died - I RMA'd them to Corsair and had new set within 2 days (fantastic service). Whilst waiting for the new Ram to arrive I put in 4x 1gig sticks of Geil 6400 ram that i had spare - worked fine so I left them in. A few days later, I got more BSOD's and it turns out that 2 of the Geil sticks have now also died (tested with Memtest and in a diff PC etc) These 2 were in slots 2 and 4 on the mobo. Prior to fitting these Geil sticks I had upgraded bios and cleared the CMOS etc. to ensure that any problems that may have caused the Crucial Ram to die were cleared/reset. What might be causing the Ram to die?...mobo, PSU or CPU or something else?
Any input is much appreciated!
