Hello people,
I bought some new ram today (4x corsair vengeance lp 4gb) and am having a lot of trouble with my system.
Every time I start an application that uses a lot of memory, I get a bluescreen after a while. The messages in the bluescreens are different from time to time, ranging from CACHE_MANAGER to DRIVER_IRQL_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I already checked all ram stick with memtest86 (and, while doing that, found out that my 3rd ram slot produces a lot of errors. I am now only using 2 of the sticks in slot 1 and 2).
Arch Linux seems to run without error, though I don't have any demanding software installed there atm.
Also worth mentioning: Even before the RAM change I've had a lot of bluescreens in the past (probably 1 every two weeks) at random intervals.
I'm not really sure what's broken here, or if there's just some wrong settings cached by windows (I know windows does driver freezing for systems which tends to lead to problems when changing hardware)
I'd be grateful for any advice you can give.
Best regards.
