I have a 4GB Stick of DDR2 in motherboard Gigabyte M4N78 SE, its been running XP for around 3 years when I bought the RAM. Its cheap off ebay from hong kong labeled for AMD systems only, no label on it but cpu-z states its kingston 400mhz but maybe a lie. It has never BSOD'd before. It passes memtest for as many passes as I leave it!!
Now strangly it will not BSOD off a 2GB stick I put in so you would think its the ram but like I said XP and memtest and activeboot disk and hirens cd etc etc and linux live disks all work!
I have tried both slots and cleaning with IPA.
I decided to put windows 7 on as I repair phones and laptops and increasingly need software that only runs on 7.
The image I put on is a syspreped one that I have installed on maybe 100 laptops and computers with no such problem.
As soon as I boot in with in minutes I get BSODs, all different but one example is 0x00000050.
I can pull the others if you want with blue screen viewer. I am on the computer now running XP with no problem as I installed 7 on a different drive.
So any ideas??
I could try installing 7 tomorrow from a dvd (a different release to the one I sysprepped), but theres no logic to this.
I could also install to a different hard disk.
Also the hard disk I used passes full surface sector scan.
Thought I'd see what people think before installing again. I also updated all the drivers with driver pack solution (DRP).
Cheers.
