During playing COD4 (a not so taxing game on a PC) i got my first blue screen since i built the PC back in 2011. The massage flashed up something about memory before it went. My PC started turning on and off every 5 seconds so i powered off and had a look at my RAM. I have four stick of 4 GB each. I removed the stick in the 4th slot on the far right and powered up. The PC booted and i asked windows to load in normal mode. It got to the Windows loading screen and went black.
I then loaded the MSI bios and did a memory test and it passed i also check to see if the memory was detected and was the correct clock speed which it was. I was able to load up in safe mode and run a memory test from msconfig when also passed.
I removed the 3rd stick of RAM as i heard that odd pairs have issues on old boards. I repeated all above steps passing all test but windows will not get pass the loading screen. it just goes dark.
I didn't have time to try one stick at a time but if the RAM is detected and at the right speed and the memory tests are passing there should be no reason not to boot
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
