BSOD errors playing Fallout 3, error 0x0000004e -3b - 7e

So far with the other stick the entire test has been fine. I've done 7 passes on the 3 ram slots as someone mentioned I should do and everything has been fine.

As for being overclocked, I've tried to turn off all overclocking on my comp (I know I have an i5 2500K which is for overclocking) to avoid overheating my CPU. It tends to get into the high 50's and 60's when running small games like Fallout 3 (and for some reason, Diablo II windowed)

I found a way to kick the fans in silent, turn off turbo mode in the BIOS and switch my ASUS AI Suite II to "Auto" in Tools. It turned the temps down a lot. I know this is probably info you don't need to know, but I thought it might help in case I'm doing something wrong.

But thanks for the help and getting me to pinpoint the issue directly.

Good news on the other ram and mobo slots and any info is useful info

The fourth slot finally finished, 7 passes on each slot too. So one RAM stick is bad, I got the code to send it back and filled out the RMA form. I'll be sending it packaged next week and hopefully get a fixed one back. Lol.

Should I still run Driver Verifier?

you can wait if the BSOD's arent killing you.

The only BSOD's I got was when I played Fallout 3. I could always attempt to play it and wait for the errors.
