Hello!
8GB 4x2GB 8000CL5D
Nvidia 780i Mobo
Q6600 Intel processor
Hello, About two years ago I purchased a 4 GB set of F2-8000CL5D RAM I recently purchased a new set.
I noticed that it looked different--though it said it was the same thing,
the blue thingy (im assuming heat-sink) looks different from the first set I purchased.
Both sets said they were the F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ though, so i inserted them.
Everything was going fine-my computer recognized them and everything....
but then everything started going bad. my anti-virus program (AVG) began to shut its firewall off, began to have errors. then windows programs began to have major errors. Windows explorer.exe would restart, as would superfect.exe and other windows programs.
This would continue until I would get a blue screen of death, or my computer would restart.
Upon restarting my computer would preform a disk check-with no errors found.
I feared a virus and after a frustrating search resorted to re-formatting my computer, including the creation of a new partition, the deletion of the old one.
However, the same thing started happening again.
I tried both sets of memory separately--they seemed to work fine apart, though the problem seemed random, programs would close or stop with no specific time pattern.
What on earth is going on here? Much help is needed and any help is much appreciated
Cheers
