Hello,
This Friday I had a BSoD crash while playing a game (from what I know the new update to that game caused the crash). After that crash all startup programs got corrupted and stopped working, even programs I tried to run, to the point in which I couldn't even boot in safe mode. I then formatted my C partition and tried to reinstall windows, at first I couldn't even reinstall windows as the installation kept failing at 17%. I managed to reinstall windows in the end by removing the first RAM stick (the closest to the CPU), I then proceeded to test all the other hardware components and everything seems to be working fine.
Is it safe for me to put back in the first RAM stick and test it with MemTest86? or will it corrupt my system again?
My system config is:
Motherboard - ASUS M5A87
CPU - AMD Athlon II x4 645 3100Mhz
RAM - Kingston HyperX Red Kit 8GB 2x4GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 (now I only have 1)
GPU - Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6670 2Gb
PSU - FSP500-60APN 500W
HDD - WESTERN DIGITAL WD10EZEX-22RKKA0 1TB
