    Follow the tests outlined in post #39 and let us know how you get on. Testing one stick at a time should be quicker.

    #39 requires memtest86 again? So I just insert one stick at a time in the DIMM slots allow up to 7 passes, and follow up?

    Yeah, test one stick in slot #1 then slot #2, then repeat with the second stick. Make a note of which stick/s fail in which slot/s.

    Nope, usually 1 error is enough to mark that RAM as faulty, I will leave the final judgment to Boozad though.

    I inserted the 1st RAM stick in the 2nd DIMM slot, and after I hour I got an error!

    so with the 1st ram stick, I got errors inserting them in both DIMM slots.

    I now inserted the 2nd Ram stick, to see the results with this one as well... Ill be a bit
    bit shattered if this one too is faulty.

    The thing which annoys me is I did my PCs upgrade in 2012, and I got a BSOD after 1 week. I called up the guy and told me he has to look into the matter... But i couldnt afford to be without PC due to college obligations. So for 3 years 3 times a day: BSOD!

    I finally had enough now, and I made the effort and decision to look into the matter myself.

    So Im awaiting to see how the 2nd Ram stick turns out now...

    This here is my motherboard as seen in my PC spec section.

    ASRock > M3A790GXH/128M

    What Ram sticks would you guys consider would be compatible. I do a lot of graphics work, and I surely need the RAM power.
