I have recently upgraded my custom computer with a 1090T AMD CPU, an Asus M4A87TD EVO motherboard, 8 gigs of DDR3 corsair memory, and a new terabyte hard drive.
For the past month I have been plagued by fairly consistent BSODs. I have been getting blue screens with driver irql not less or equal and page fault in non page area messages leading me to believe it was a driver or memory issue.
I ran driver verifier and updated all old drivers and the blue screens continued.
I ran memtest86+ and the Windows memory diagnostic tool with several passes on my four memory sticks together and then each by themselves in different slots on the mobo. All of them passed without any errors in both programs. The blue screens were still there.
Reformatted and reinstalled Windows 7 professional several times on two separate hard drives. Blue screens still there.
Ran prime 95 to see if it was my cpu,the program ran fine on the less memory intensive mode, but it blue screened with a page fault error in blended mode so I decided to run memtest again for several passes.
While running memtest again I discovered it would identify my 1333 ddr3 memory as ddr400 with 200 Mhz when i would place any stick in channel B on my motherboard. Any stick of ram would be misidentified while each would display correctly in the channel A dimms. Memtest would still not find any errors for the memory sticks in channel B after several passes.
I was wondering if this is just an error in Memtest or possibly a sign of a bad memory controller in the CPU or a motherboard with bad dimm slots and possible cause of my blue screens?
I am just trying to further narrow down what I need to RMA. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
