This is a repost of another thread I made that I put in the wrong forum.
I just installed windows 7 today, but I did have some headaches.
With windows 7, I bought a kit of Corsair XMS2 2x2GB sticks, Model Number: CM2x2048-6400C5C I was upgrading from 2x1GB sticks of Corsair XMS2. I first put it in with XP still installed to test it while I moved files over to my other HDD. It worked fine.
When I got around to running the Windows 7 install. It gave me a BSOD less then 15 seconds in. I tried again and I got to the point where I could delete partitions, and it gave me another. After I deleted XP. So I decided I would put my old ram back in, and just install 7 and deal with it once it was installed.
With my old ram back in, the install finished in 30 minutes and everything ran fine. I then tried the new ram again and got another BSOD, so I went back to compusa figuring I had faulty ram. The computer couldn't stay on long enough to do anything.
I installed the new ram I got, and the same thing happened. So after the new new ram failed, I decide to only stick one stick in and test that. Right now, it is running on one 2GB stick, and it's running fine. After I post this, I am going to try the other stick solo to see if it works too.
No overclocking, and the sticks are in the first two slots for dual channel. When I tested my other new stick, I crashed to a BSOD after about 5 minutes. Before it went away I saw something about mouhid.sys.
I made the bootable ISO with memtest and I'm running it on the one that caused the blue screen while it was solo in the first slot. I stuck it in the last slot just to see what would happen.
It looks like its running a bit fast even though I'm not overclocking it. It is DDR2 800 and its running at 430MHz which it says is DDR861. Dunno if that means anything.
It made one pass and didn't have any errors, so I rebooted to test it. It crashed in minutes, but I don't know if there is a dmp for that one.
