jaygreen, any news yet? Let me know how things go whenever you have time.

Hey Essenbe. Just checked my PC and Memtest has showed 10 passes with no errors on DIMM slots 1&2.

Memtest86+ is not infallible, but it is the best program we have. I would recommend you run it in the other 2 slots and see if you get any errors. I just wish you had 4 sticks to run together to see if you get errors with all slots filled. Also, you can RMA your Corsair ram. I believe they have a lifetime warranty and Corsair usually has good service. You should have no problem if you tell them you ran memtest and it found over 100 errors. If it were me, I would hope it's the ram.

I do have 4 sticks.. ><

this was the problem, every time I run Memtest86+ with all 4 sticks in I always get errors back.

That's what I was saying about you using your Girlfriend's ram. I wish you had 4 sticks of hers, to verify that. If you always get errors with 4 sticks, it is either a problem with the motherboard or the CPU, as the memory controller is in the CPU. However, it is very rare that a CPU is bad unless it has been seriously abused. I realize you have 4 sticks of Corsair ram, but you sent me 2 CPUZ files of your Girlfriend's ram. I am assuming that means you only have 2 sticks of her's to test, but I wish you had 4, to verify that 4 sticks always causes errors.

ahh okay, I apologize. Well, I just finished 2 memtest86+ runs. the 1st test I ran for 10 passes with no errors with DIMM slots 1&2 populated. I then ran the 2nd test for 18 passes moving the DIMM slot 2 RAM to slot 3 which also gave me no errors. my most recent multiple BSOD occurrence was when I only had DIMM slots 1&3 populated with the same RAM I used to test my most recent tests with.

Not with my girlfriends RAM. My RAM.

Oh OK. I misunderstood. Do you think your ram is bad or do you think it is your motherboard is the issue? Because, still even though it was your ram, if it passed memtest but still caused BSODs, That shouldn't happen either.

I really don't have a clue to be honest. I'm completely lost to why this is happening. all of my hardware is also relatively new as well. :s I think I'm going to have to test with my girlfriends RAM to see if I receive BSOD.

What's the best way to test my CPU? I had it overclocked at 4.5ghz for over 2 years being used every day for gaming. Maybe it's the CPU and not my RAM or motherboard?
