BSOD after adding 4GB of RAM - IRQL not less or equal
Hey,
I've been having some random BSODs since installing an additional 4GB of RAM (I originally ran 4GB). Both RAM are the same - 2x2 GB of G.Skill 1333MHz "F3-10666CL9D-4GBNS" (bought off Newegg). I've tried a number of things:
1. Thought the new memory was bad so I ran Memtest - found some errors when all four 2GB sticks were installed (several hundred actually). I then tried just the new memory by itself - no errors! The old memory was also tested by its self and had no errors. It seems to be when all four sticks are together I get BSODs.
2. I updated core drivers - Video card, audio and such. I also ran a windows update.
3. Safemode appears to work fine with all four sticks installed - I haven't had a BSOD in the last hour while I usually get one every 10 minutes if not in safemode.
Also, I've used a crash dump analyser program and it's pointed towards some driver causing the problems but it can't seem to identify the driver. Hopefully I can get some help from you guys and solve this problem. :D
And this computer is about 2 years old, home built (ordered all the parts off newegg). I believe all the system information is in the zip but if needed I can post all the parts.
If anything else is needed let me know I'm willing to try anything really so I can just use my full 8GBs - I've had to run just 4GB to use my computer lately I'm hoping to be able to use all of it!
