Hello, I've come across a few problem where i hope you all can help. =)
Before i go any further i'm going to give a quick recap.
I upgraded from my athlon x2 220 processor to athlon x4 645. My system would have no video output. I tried putting back in the old one, but, still no video. Eventually, i put the new psu back, and i took out all of my RAM and left 1 stick in. It worked. Video output and everything. A few days later i had a blue screen crash, but, before i could read it, it shut off. After that i bought a new Motherboard. Still no video output with the new one. Eventually i put the old PSU back in with the new Motherboard and the system booted up with video output, no problem.
That's where i am now. Even though my system "works" I'm getting a lot of other frustrating problems: Programs stop working, Certain games crash to desktop with no error, I had windows update problems but eventually fixed it, Mcafee real-time scanner constantly turning off(Temporarily fixed that), Corrupt files while installing/extracting. I have updated everything that needs updating.
I currently have 4 sticks of 4GB DDR3 Corsair in my system. I should have 16 GB of RAM showing up. (I know, it's kind of pointless to have that much.) The problem is that my system is only reading 8 GB. I have tried booting up with just one of these 4GB sticks of RAM, but, it only read 2GB.
I believe that this problem is connected somehow to the main problems with my system.
I have been getting blue screen crashes lately and they all say the something about MEMORY_MANAGEMENT. Also, when installing certain things, i get CRC failed message.
Is it bad memory? Did the old Motherboard fry everything else in my system?
Here is my current specs:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Motherboard: ASUS M5A88-M
Processor: AMD Athlon II x2 220 Processor (2 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
Memory: 8192 MB RAM
Page file: 2466MB used, 13913 MB available
Direct X: DirectX 11
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5570
Approx. Total Memory (GPU): 753 MB
(For some reason it is not reading System Manufacturer or System Model. I just says..
System Manufacturer: System manufacturer
System Model: System Product Name)
I'll take any help i can get.
