3b win32k BSOD from hardware upgrades

G.Skill is high quality for Intel and AMD and are interchangeable so long as RAM specs for the board are met. Your current RAM should be reset to the timings shown in this snip, from your system.

Attachment 244585

Check you manual on how to access the RAM settings, likely under an advanced sub-menu. Note that the 2T sometimes is called 2N, it is the same thing.

Thanks, good to know. I thought I was fine buying the G.Skill, especially with the reviews.

I'll get that switched over right now and see how that runs.
Does that crash file point to memory, and this could be a fix, or just a good thing to change?

Thanks for your help, Briton, by the way. Going at this for over a week and its great to finally be heading in the right direction, haha.
You too koolkat!

Can you keep your graphics card out until we get your RAM sorted. This dump was a random crash but showed errors with your graphics card drivers later.

Code:

Usual causes:  Kernel mode driver, System Service, BIOS, Windows, Virus scanner, Backup tool, compatibility

Insert your graphics card in another PC and see if anything weird happens. You can also take the furmark and video memory test. Make sure nothing is wrong with the "new" graphics card :)

Well I just tired doing what Britton suggested with the different timings.
Changed it to 9-9-9-25, crashed, so I re-read the ram packaging and it says 9-9-9-24, so I changed it to 24 and changed the row cycle time to 33... not sure if I should have changed it to 33 but thats the snip it that was highlighted int he picture.

I then worked fine on the computer for a good few hours, until another 3b crash (which I hadn't seen in awhile), so I decided to try out the other slots in the motherboard (3+4), and when I booted it back up I get 2 long beeps and then a screen saying it failed to boot because of overclocking.

...what is going on? I'm going to put it back to the defaults of 11-11-11-28 and 39 Row Cycle Time and see what that does.

I also have no other computer to put the video card in, not until tomorrow at least, and my motherboard has no integrated graphics so I have to have a video card in.
Should I put my old one in?

Yes. How many sticks of RAM do you have exactly?
Sorry if I asked this question earlier

I have 2. 2x4gb.
And I tried booting it with the RAM in the other 2 slots (1&2) and its booted up just fine.
Seems weird that it won't boot in the other slots, but it will in 1 and 2.

If you'd like, I can give you the exact model numbers for the ram, memory, motherboard, video card, whatever, if that would help?

Edit: Also, forgot to mention, I haven't put my old card in just yet, because the system didn't seem to behave any differently the last time I tried the old one (yesterday).

That might help Britton30
Did you test the RAM individually or with all inserted?

Haha well if he comes around again, then.
I moved both sets over, I haven't yet tried one at a time, yet.
I can do that in an hour or so.
Is there a specific way I should go about it?
Or just go one stick a time 1 through 4?
