Random BSOD with new RAM and Soundcard install.
windows 7 ultimate x64 , retail.
computer and install ~1.5 years old.
had to RMA some corsair ram so i bought 2x2gb of patriot ddr3 ram and installed it along with a xonar DG soundcard, started getting bsods.
tried different soundcard drivers, tried removing soundcard hardware, ran memtest for ~ 4 passes and received no errors. i was overclocking the cpu with only the multiplier, but put it back to stock. still bsods.
they occur every other day. rarely 2 in one day of ~ 6 hours of computer usage/day.
any help would be appreciated. I am in college and dont have time to do more research on how to fix this.
thanks in advance!
edit: i also ran prime95 for about an hour with no hiccups. system seemed stable.
note: only the bsod logs from september-october 2011 are relevant. thanks.
