RAM upgrade leading to bootloops and BSOD, error BAD POOL.
Hello everyone!
I got Acer aspire 5742g
i5 480M @ 2.67
Currently installed 4GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM
I'm using Win7 Home Pre x64.
An year back I bought 4x2 GB Corsair RAM and replaced the RAM which was available with the laptop.
One of the ram was malfunctioning so I got it replaced. Now when I installed the new ram the laptop boots up, goes through BIOS and starts loading windows. But then it reboots itself and starts loading again.
This loops continues until I remove it and use my old ram. When I install only my new ram its gives me BSOD error (IRQL LESS OR EQUALS TO, and BAD POOL ERROR).
I tried loading into safe mode, but then it freezes after loading ClassCNP.sys (or something like that).
I even decided to format my system but it seems like it won't even load up the UI for installing new OS.
I'm stuck as I want to upgrade to 8GB but I'm not able to.
Please assist with the problem.
