Random BSOD on new custom build & clean install of Win 7 Pro 64

My two cents replace the entire kit . If its dual or quad . I don't recommend mix matching memory .

If Arc and Golden don't mind my two cents worth if you get RAM try get sticks that come in paired or quad sets they are more likely to match each other rather than installing a mixed lot of sticks :)

The Ram came as quad set that was listed in the motherboards compatibility list. Maybe they were just a dud batch or got damaged in transit? I was most careful to use anti-static precautions throughout the entire assembly of the machine.

That is what is called a kit.

Arc said:

A single error is enough to determine that the RAM is faulty. If the RAM is within warranty, RMA it; otherwise get a new kit that is compatible with your motherboard.

Arc will not mind, as Arc already suggested the same earlier.

Oops sorry Arc missed that

I received the replacement memory last night, installed it and ran Memtest on it overnight on standard settings. Several passes later and not one single error was found. :)

I dare to say that that must have been the problem (I haven't had a BSOD for the short time I've been using it since the new memory at any rate) so I'll marking this as solved if I don't crash before this evening. :)

Thank you all, especially Arc!
