Adding 2 Gigs Of Ram Causes BSOD.

[SubDude199]

I am now running 2 GB of COREAIR XMS2 DDR2 800mhz. I have it overclocked to 1066 and its running great. but then when I add my other 2 gigs I get random crashes, BSOD win32K.sys and NV4_disp.dll.. hmm. never happends without the extra 2 gigs in.

I have tested each stick invididially and they are all great.

the only diffrence is one ram is version 6.2 and the other is a but older. version 5.0 or somehting (have to take ram out to check it..) other than the its the same ram.

any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

I'd first suggest taking it back to regular speed. Just test to see if the overclocking is the problem. I'd also read the motherboards instruction booklet. Check the exact specs, maximum memory size, mixing types compatibility etc. Thats about all I can think of i'm afraid.

Regards,

+1. Stop the memory overclocking.

Its harder to overclock 4 sticks of memory then two. Puts more stress on the memory controller. If you want to overclock it either bump the timming up some or increase the voltage.
