I was playing World of Warcraft the other day, and then my computer suddenly BSOD'ed and refused to want to login through normal means afterwards. Logging in through Safe Mode is no problem...until something more intensive happens. But it gets weirder.
After getting some help from a friend, he pulled my sticks and I slotted his one 4GB stick in one slot, tried it, and it worked. Tried the other slot, same thing. He's also scanning my sticks with his machine and he hasn't so far had a single problem, so that rules out a motherboard problem as far as I know.
So my final question is this: Is there something wrong maybe with my settings for my RAM? Or is it something else?
Shoot, setup. Right:
M/B: GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 (rev. 3)
CPU: AMD FX-6400 Six-Core
RAM: (formerly) Corsair Vengeance
4x2, 1866MHz; (currently) PDP Systems 1333MHz, 4GB
GPU: GeForce GTX 650
And yes, I performed memtests on my problem sticks and it said there was an error of some kind. Also, to rule out software, I reinstalled Win7 clean, partitions and all.
EDIT: To rule out compatibility issues, this setup has been running uninterrupted otherwise for five months. Weird how it would suddenly choose to fall over and seize after five months for no real reason.
