Dear all

I have been experiencing a lot of BSODs recently, and after reviewing my minidmp logs and running a memtest, I have located the issue to be compatibility between my ram.

Specs:
M4A79XTD EVO
3x Kingston KVR1333D3N9K2/4gb (In kit of two with one extra 2gb) Total 6gb

According to this, the ram is within the same module, and have the same CAS latency, timings, and voltage. BSOD only occurs when all 3 slots are filled. (Works fine with 2)

What am I possible missing?


Thanks

Best Regards
Magnus

Alot of times, having missmatched RAM (RAM from different packages) can cause errors. Having the two RAM modules that were made together causes no problems, but having the third 'extra' RAM is probably causing all the problems and errors.
