Unganged Mode Causes Crashes

[Donjuan17]

okay so i recently installed an additional 4 gigs of ram into my system (the exact same models as first 2). giving me 8 gigs total. everything was going fine until i got a bsod saying IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL]. long story short i go into my bios and adjust my ganged/unganged setting to ganged then everything works fine. i get the concept behind ganged and unganged and i would really prefer unganged over ganged. any ideas why choosing unganged mode triggers a BSOD and any ideas on how i would be able to run unganged mode without triggering a BSOD????

This error is frequently caused by a bad, or incompatible driver installed in the system. Remove recently installed drivers, until you find the one that causes the system to stop.
On my system, I have this error when I try to install a USB Ethernet driver. When I use a non USB internet connection, it does not occur.

this happens even during A fresh windows install during setup so i dont think its a driver issue. I switch to ganged mode and everthing works perfectly but when i change to unganged mode constant BSOD's switch it back smooth running. is there something im supposed to be enabling or disabling with the unganged mode switch??


Edit: i have also ran Memtests current ram setup with absolutely no errors.
