I installed 2 new memory sticks about 2 months ago. Everything 'seems' to be working fine, certainly in Windows and in most programs, but in World of Warcraft I've been getting some strange errors. After much searching around, it seems that it's the new memory which was at fault. I don't really know much about PC's, but I've tried switching the sticks over, running with just 1 etc, but I'm still having problems. It's very hard to know if it's the memory which is at fault, or the game itself.
I've just put both sticks back into the computer and run CPU-Z. I'm wondering if any of my settings in BIOS are incorrect because I just put the new memory in and didn't change anything in BIOS.
Below is the CPU-Z report. Could somebody tell me if there are any obvious errors which could be causing the memory to fail?
