BOSD's on a new Gaming PC

[Scrati]

Hi All,

hopefully you guys can help me with the following problem:

I set up a new Gaming PC:
OS: Windows 7 64bit Ultimate
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 6x2.8GHzMotherboard: Gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H, AMD 880G, AM3 mATX
Memory: G.Skill DDR3-RAM 4GB PC3-1333 Kit (F3-10600CL9D-4GBNT)
Graphics Card(s): MSI N460GTX Cyclone 1GD5/OC, 1024MB, GDDR5, PCI-Express
Hard Drives: 2.5" OCZ Vertex 2 Extended Series 60GB (BOOT OS)
2 x 3.5" Samsung SpinPoint F3 1000GB HD103SJ 7200U/m (RAID1) Case: Lian Li PC-V354B Micro-ATX Cube - black Cooling: Corsair CWCH50

After Installing win7 (with gigabyte preinstall RAID/AHCI Drivers) I get lots and lots of BSOD's:

"Memory_Management"
"System_Service_Exception"
"PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA"
"PFN_LIST_CORRUPT"
"AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO WRITE TO READ ONLY MEMORY"

I tried Memtest about two hours. The result were five Fail Addresses within Test 5.

After installing Win7 the first time, everything seems to be fine. But then crashed the software Raid1 (German description "Synchronisation wird wiederholt" / maybe translated that way: "Synchronization is repeated") I got this message over hours. But I did'nt test anything else. Hence I have no idea, if BSOD'S would appear in this configuration.

After installing Win7 the second time with hardware Raid support BSOD's started to appear. Then I used Memtest...which results in several failures. But I did'nt give up! I installed latest drivers for the chipset, LAN, graphics, Audio and all imaginable thing. Up to this time I did not have any additional software installed! Due to the fact that also the driver updates did'nt help, I installed WIN7 (clean) for the third time.

And my feeling is: It's getting real worse! Now the bluescreens appear directly after the first boot and downloading Windows Updates. Then I was able to install some things but bluescreens still starting to make me sick.

I was configuring PC's since 10 years and I never had such a wide spread of different bluescreens.

As you already realized I am not native speaker. But this forum seems to be the best to match my problem.

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks Scrati

Replace your memory sticks they are faulty

Thank you for your short and precise answer

I just got my RMA number I'll send them back tomorrow and just buy a new kit at a near store. Maybe I can tell you tomorrow evening if the RAM was the problem.

Should I reinstall Win7 after replacing the memory sticks. I know it's normally not necessary, but can faulty RAM lead to faulty Win7 installations?

No, just replace the memory sticks
