I just bought a new 750w PSU, GTX 570, and 8gb of RAM and installed them all today. I've never crashed once before i did this upgrade today, and I played all the same games. I've only notice this has happened while I was Bad Company 2 because it was the 1st game I've played, But it did happened 3 times so something has to be wrong...
I will be playing bad company 2 and everything is perfect until about 15 minutes or so the game will just crash and go directly to BSOD. It goes by pretty quick so i dont have enough time to read it. The game also crashed w/ BSOD when i just tried to exit it normally after playing for about 10 minutes. I havent experienced any other crashed yet. Only in-game.
PC specs BEFORE upgrade:
i5-750
GA-p55m-UD2 LGA1156 mobo
gtx260
550W Fatal1ty PSU
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL7D-4GBRH
PC specs AFTER upgrade:
i5-750
same mobo
gtx570
750W corsair PSU
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL which makes a total of 12gb of ram
RAM DIFFERENCES:
I'm thinking the 2 types of ram aren't working very well together. IDK much about ram but I noticed they have a few differences. The ram i just bought&installed is 1.5V and 9-9-9-24-2N timing while the RAM I previously had was 7-7-7-24 and 1.6V. Could this be the problem? If it is then I would I just take out the 2 old sticks and just keep the 8GB?
I just read about memtest86, I guess ill give this a try if no one knows the answer.
Thanks!
