2 Sticks memory work fine, blue screen with 3 each.

[grazhopper]

So ive had this problem since I built the computer about a month ago. I have all 3 sticks of 1GB ram in the slots and I get a blue screen saying "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT". I take out one stick and it boots/ works fine. Ive run memtest86+ on each of the sticks for one pass, then I tried with them all in and it failed. What else can I run to diagnose the problem? Would running memtest for more than 1 pass for each stick possibly give me a solution? Thanks.

Your processor only supports duel channel mode vs triple channel mode. Thus it can run with 2 sticks or 4 sticks or most likely 6 sticks but I don't think It will let you have it unbalanced...

where do u see that? im pretty sure it does support triple channel

I think you might be right. I got mixed up and was looking at the Lynnfield instead of the Bloomfield cores... I'm still researching but it looks like I might be mistaken...

What speed does the memory say it's running at with 2 sticks? what about 3, or cant you see that far?

Also have you tried messing with your XMP (Extreme Memory Profile) settings?
If it's disabled try enabling it... It might be because your ram speed is above 1066. I'm not 100% sure yet but what is the XMP setting?
