What RAM to get?

[Redmelo]

Hi!

It seems that my RAM is causing BSOD and random lockups.
After running Memtest it immediately got errors so I am now looking to replace it.

I´m just not sure what to get so I ask you for some advice.
My mobo is Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 with an i7 920 D0 @ 3.6Ghz and 3x 2GB tripple channel DDR3 (Crucial something something (at work right now)).

I was thinking of getting 2x 4GB sticks such as:

Only issue I have is that I am not 100% certain that this will run fine as it isnt tripple channel.

Thank you for reading and please advise!

The motherboard will probably run in dual channel as well.

On the Gigabyte website it says - Dual/3 channel memory architecture

So you will be fine just check the manual.

Thanks for the reply mickyflinn!

It seems that I don't have to buy new memory after all.
When I initially ran MemTest on all 3 sticks together I almost immediately got errors.
Then I ran MemTest on each stick individually and in the end all 3 together and got 0 errors after more than 20 passes each time.

It looks like reseating the sticks fixed the issue, for now, until I have to reseat them again.
Pretty weird to be honest, but at least it is working now.
