Hello,
I just installed two stickes of 8 gb of Corsair 1333mhz ram. I ran a stress test using Prime95. I ran for about 30 minutes and one of the worker stopped working. Here is the log.

Also i am running a Alienware M17x with a 2630k intel i7 cpu.
Please help me as I am in need of an answer.

Thanks
 


I have an M17x R3 (same laptop as the OP, I just have a different CPU). The cooling in the R3 is as good as it gets in a laptop, there is something else at work here
