Errors, crashes.

Hey everyone. I just installed windows 7 64bit on my new pc. But i've been "attacked" by problems, errors, crashes since i started the installation. First alot of those BSOD errors came, then i plugged out a ram and the installation when smooth. But then after the installation i decided to try and plug my ram in again, and i were being attacked by the same again. For some reason the one of those ram "ports/channels" on my motherboard is now damaged and if i plug a ram into that one i recieve a those BSOD errors again, but the thing im wondering is how can a installation of win 7 damage my motherboard ?

It cant. the ram probably just went bad. Happens all the time especially with 64 bit systems., and especially if overclocked.

It is doubtful that the ram would again begin to work on 32bit. The ram should be warranted for life. cant it be rutner for new? 64 bit is always harder on hardware.

Let us know if we can help
