Hello,
I have following PC setup:
Motherboard: MSI X58 Pro-E (stock settings)
CPU: i7 930 / 2.8 GHz (stock speeds / cooler)
RAM: Corsair XMS3 - Memory - 6 GB : 3 x 2 GB - DIMM 240-pin - DDR3 - 1333 MHz / PC3-10600 - CL9 - 1.5
On one HDD I have Win7 32-bit installed.
On another I have Win7 64-bit installed.
On Win7 32-bit the system feels sluggish and applications (particularly games) occasionally crash.
On Win7 64-bit the system runs well but bluescreens (MEMORY_MANAGEMENT).
I've run Memtest in following configurations (A,B,C refer to the 3 sticks of 2 GB each)
A B C = Error
A B = Clean
A C = Clean first run (6 passes), but on a second try later it showed Error straight away.
B C = Error
C = Clean
The errors do SEEM to be random but so far I have only seen them when stick C is being used.
So initial findings would point at issues with the stick C.
However, in the BIOS the memory is shown as running at 9-9-9-24 (clock: 667Mhz).
On Memtest and CPU-Z it shows at 8-8-8-19 (clock: 534.4Mhz).
This is regardless of how many / which sticks are plugged in. So I am worried there is actually an issue with the motherboard. Does anyone know of a way I can test this further?
Thanks!
