Didn't you run a memory test for your video card and it failed ? Might want to get a video card replacement

I am currently updating my SB Audigy LS drivers using the Creative Software AutoUpdate Tool.

Not seeing issues . No bad sectors .

Ok, I finally decided to remove the card from slot #3 (physical slot #1) So now I have 4Gb RAM in two slots (Slot 1 & 2, physical slots 2 & 4). Here is a photo of the RAM and the minidumps. We never fixed the bad driver igdkmd64.sys.

So I'll wait now and see if it crashes on 2 sticks of RAM or not.

The image of the RAM stick in the image goes with a 3 memory kit (3x2GB) to equal 6GB . That's for triple channel motherboards . Your motherboard is a dual channel motherboard . Even though you have 4 memory slots your memory won't work to what the memory is meant for .

To replace memory kit modules you replace the entire kit if one memory stick goes bad .

roy2k · 13 May 2013

Wow! So this could be my problem!? So are you saying that if get a fourth RAM stick it won't fix the problem and that I should get 3 or 4 individual sticks of 2Gb? Do they have to be from the same manufacturer?

Thanks.

You would need a dual channel memory kit . If you want to fill up the entire memory slots you would need two dual channel memory kits

:Added:

8GB (2x4GB) Dual Kit memory

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145315

Note

The MAXIMUM your Motherboard could go up to is 8GB . Either with one kit or two

Motherboard Memory Speeds It could support are :

DDR3 PC3-10600 ( DDR3 1333 )

DDR3 PC3-12800 ( DDR3 1600 )

Well, it's been a few days since I removed one stick of RAM but I finally crashed again. I guess like you said the real problem here is that I am running RAM design for a triple channel board when I have a dual channel.

Please look at page one of the specs for this computer. It says memory configuration supported is 4, 6, or 8Gb.
ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-produ...uide_en-us.pdf

I would like to start off with 6Gb (3 x 2Gb) for now. If I decide later, can I upgrade by adding another 2Gb stick or do I have to start all over and get 4 x 2Gb of the same brand or a kit?

Thank you.

For dual channel you need a memory kit that comes in pairs .

For example 2x4GB is 2 sticks of memory where each stick has 4GB to make it 8GB . If you want to fill the four DIMM Slots you would need two dual channel kits same manufacture and speed .

Did you see in the manual where it says I can run 6Gb RAM?

So, it's been over a week now since my last blue screen. I'm still running the two sticks of 2Gb Corsair RAM.

I just talked to the guy at Fry's Electronics on the phone. I was gonna see if I could exchange the Corsair kit because they sold me a triple channel kit for my dual channel board. He insisted that I can use the triple channel sticks on a dual channel board with no problem. It just might not be as fast as if I were using it with a triple channel board.

I don't know what to do now. He suggested one of the sticks or slots might be bad. But everything works fine with all slots filled with 1Gb RAM. And I highly doubt there is anything wrong with the Corsair RAM.

He said I could do a memtest on each Stick one at a time. Seems like a pain in the @ss.

Whoa! Check this out: I just ran Speccy and it shows that my two sticks of RAM are DUAL channel. Nevermind. I guess it means my computer is dual channel as you said.
