I was playing black ops 2 zombie, and I used the 8 GB of RAM in my pc build in my current computer since the game recommends 8 GB. Well I was playing and my game froze for a second and the blue screen of death came up. I wasn't too upset because my computer is kind of old. So I restarted it and when I logged in the blue screen of death came back up.

Okay no big deal, so I tried the original RAM and it worked as you can probably tell.

But the thing is before it all did this, it happened once before last week, with the original RAM.

So is the 8 GB RAM bad and should I send it back for a replacement?

Is it the RAM that is causing the blue screen of death?

Is there anything I can do fix this?

Thanks!

*When I say original RAM I mean the RAM that came with the computer when I bought it

Ram can cause blue screen of death. Are you attempting to overclock the ram on the board or using stock settings?

There is a program called memtest, download it and run the setup to burn the image to a cd, then boot it and it will do a check on every bit on the ram, this will take a couple hours though.

No I am not trying to overclock, and thanks for the program, I'll give that a shot

I can't do that, every time I log in it instantly goes into the blue screen of death. I wrote the screen all down if you want me to show you if that might help
