Hi guys.
My new PC:
Rig:
i7 2600K
ASUS P8Z68-V
2x4GB Corsair Vengeance 1866 MHz (Well, not quite...)
GTX 560Ti
Creative Audigy 2 ZS
Win7 64 bit
Cooling:
EK-Supreme HF
MCP655 Pump
Phobya Balancer 150 Silver Nickel Reservoir
Custom 2x120mm Radiator + Shroud
mCubed BigNG Fan Controller
The rig gear is completely new and everything works OK, apart from the RAM.
I cannot install two sticks of 4GB RAM without the computer crashing as soon as the logon screen appears, after the windows logo with the black background. I set my computer to load only the essential drivers and software (diagnostics mode in msconfig) and test my RAM as much as I could. I used memtest to test the RAM
I numbered each stick, 1 and 2. My findings are as follows:
Slot 1 with Stick 1, boots OK memtest passes 100%
Slot 3 with Stick 2, boots OK and memtest passes 100%
Slot 1 with Stick 1 and Slot 3 with Stick 2, BSOD at login screen
Slot 1 with Stick 2 and Slot 3 with Stick 1, BSOD at login screen
Slot 2 with Stick 1 and Slot 4 with Stick 2, BSOD at login screen
Slot 2 with Stick 2 and Slot 4 with Stick 1, BSOD at login screen
And finally to force dual channel mode off;
Slot 1 with Stick 1 and Slot 2 with Stick 2, BSOD at login screen
I literally have no idea what the problem is, since the RAM sticks work independantly of eachother! Is this a RAM issue? Mobo? CPU?
Any help is massively appreciated.
