Windows 7 is unstable (Problem's cause was faulty ram)
Hello all!
So...My Windows 7 applications just crash.Not all of them,not all at once.Propably they won't be even the same apps!Sometimes,no crash will occur.I get the "The program stopped working" error,and that's it.After I reboot,I run the same program,and it just runs perfectly.However,something else crashes this time.I believe it has to do with my ram (because different programs crash at different times,and a reboot fixes the problem...for a bit!).I don't have any memory drains though (about 17% of the usable ram is used).
I have done memory diagnostics and nothing came up.I am using both Windows and Linux (Debian and Suse),and both Linux run without a hiccup!
Ok,I know,I have too much ram for nothing,but that doesn't mean it must not work right!
I have reinstalled Windows 7 x64 (Ultimate) 4 times the last 5 months,and the same thing happens.I used to have BSODs,but they seem to have stopped for some reason.I had Windows 7 x86 (Ultimate) installed before,and it ran perfectly.That's what also makes me believe it has to do with the ram(8gb could not be seen by Windows 7 x86).
Oh,and I have installed Windows 7 x64 (Ultimate) from the same disc on my macbook pro,and it runs like a charm.No crashes or whatsoever.
Is there any fix for this?Any configuration I have to do?Fresh installs and repair installs didn't solve the issue.
Thanks in advance!
