BSOD after upgrading &/or installing new memory module on brand new PC
Good day to all. Can someone please assist me, advance thanks..
I bought a PC with MSI mainboard, N430GT, with 2-2GB Kingston KVR1333D3N9/2G installed RAM (=4GB), 500GB HDD.
Everything works smooth until I read that I could upgrade memory up to 16GB max. BTW my OS is Win7 64 Ultimate.
So I decided first to buy and install 2pcs-4GB Kingston KVR1333D3N9/4G (=8GB), for a few days everything works fine as expected, I shut it down one night and the following day restarting my PC, it turned BLUE with messages., and then on as often as every 5 minutes or less it turns BSOD.
I asked my friends and told me to do a clean OS reinstallation and I did that, but the problem persisted as if nothing changed.
So I did a memory diagnostic and It noted that possible hardware problem.
I did immediately changed and swap back my original 2pcs-2GB memory, and surprisingly until this thread writing it is ok.
My mainboard supports dual channel (two slots only) and I want to know how could I checked which one of the two 4GB memory modules is not working, or is it safe to install only one 4GB memory to checked which of the two is working or both are not working?
Any immediate response is of great help. thanks.
