Recently my motherboard died, so I picked up a new Gigabyte P43-ES3G to replace it. I added all 8gb of ram, set out to install win 7. Not even through the first boot, i got a BSOD. Buddy came over to try and help, we used a different 7 cd, same result. Ended up taking out all of the ram but 1 stick, and everything worked perfect. I got everything installed, then tried 8gb again, wouldn't get to desktop w/o BSOD. Took 1 stick out, leaving 3, lasts about 5 mins, then BSOD. Took 2 out worked around an hour, then BSOD. I'm on the machine now with 1 stick and it's been up for 24 hours.
The graphics card was new, but old motherboard was ATI and I couldn't get it to post with it. After switching out old card back in, even that wouldn't post. My buddy who had the entire same PC as me switched over his CPU and RAM and it posted fine. The new mobo was cheap and as soon as I got the new one, it worked right away (with 2gb ram of course).
I followed the instructions for the dump files and the permon, and they are all attached in a zip.
I greatly appreciate any help you guys can provide! :)
