BSOD on 64Bit while 32Bit runs fine
Hello,
(Sorry for my bad english)
I really need help on this one.
3-4 Month's ago a friend of mine made me an custom build computer.
now from the beginning the computer looked fine to me after a couple of hours playing games it started acting wierd shows programs suddenly stopped working and gave me BSOD's in the beginning it came every 3-5 hours then after a few days i had 5 BSOD in 20minutes
i reinstalled windows a couple of times but still the same problem.
**Until sunday 8-9-2013 ** i whas sad about how many blue screens i whas getting again so i decided to reinstall the system once more.
But this time i accidently installed Windows 7 Professional 32Bit instead of 64Bit the computer i found out i had 32Bit when trying to update my GPU with 64Bit it told me it doesnt support so i looked in DxDiag and yes i had 32bit.
But now the computer seems stable for 5 almost 6 days straight no errors no BSOD nothing just stable like a good computer should act.
(now straight to the problem) In my oppinion the one of the RAM Sticks is broken
Yesterday evening i ran Memtest86 for 20minutes OVER 800+ ERRORS
(RAM = 2 X 8GB patriot Viper 1600MHZ DDR3)
Test 2: Pulled 1 Ram Stick out left the other in the computer and let it ran for over 11 hours 4 passes it showed my within the first 2 hours i had 186 errors and after 11 hours i had total 386 errors
(Total 386 Errors in RAM Stick 1)
Test 3: before i go to my work i stopped the first test shut off the computer pulled the RAM stick out and putted the other in i ran it for 10-11 hours straight 3 passes with 0 errors
(Total 0 Errors in RAM Stick 2)
i do think a 1 stick is broken because of the errors i gave
but why does windows 7 32 bit seems stable .
(in my opinion the good Stick whas on channel 1 and because windows 32bit doesnt use more then 4GB RAM so 8GB on 1 Stick is far enough for 32Bit so it never used the broken stick on channel 2.
and when using 64Bit the computer uses both RAM Sticks to give optimal performance and it only gives me BSOD'S
(Sorry for my bad english)
Let me know what u guys/girls think of this and maybe help me out.
