As some of you may have experienced in the past I've been having on-going problems with my sig rig and BSOD's.
I had a Gigabyte 965P-S3 with an E6300 and I had reoccuring BSODs with that, so much so that I thought the MOBO was dead and I decided to upgrade. So I ended up with my sig rig (minus one 8800).
I had it running a while and then I started to get random BSODs. So I re-installed Vista and thought the problem had gone, but it hadn't. So I re-installed again, and it still hadn't gone. I then tried using all the most up-to-date drivers, but that didn't help anything. I have tried updating my BIOS, but that didn't fix it either. Running with one 8800 didn't help anything out... I've ran Memtest more times than I can remember, at least 20 passes on each stick and it came out with no errors. Though I am sceptical, because they're the newer single sided Ballistix which aren't supposed to be any good.
They seem to come and go, I'll go a few months and not get a single BSOD, then all of a sudden, I'll get a few, or just the one. It's totally odd. I've had a few different ones, 0A, C5 and MEMORY_MANAGEMENT. Which to me suggests bad RAM?
I've heard people say that nVidia chipsets don't like having 4 sticks of RAM running?
The majority of them only seem to happen with Vista is booting, too. So I don't know what that could be.
Thanks for any help!
