Hello,
I have spent the past few days trying to figure this problem out, and have referenced many of the posts about this specific ram kit in other posts to try and figure it out. At first everything worked fine, until I went to install the drivers for my video card after windows 7 install. Then I started getting BSoDs almost exclusively when installing programs! It would sometimes finish them, and sometimes it would BSoD, kind of random.
Only one program always caused a bsod and I think it was because the data file it was installing was gb in size. Anyway, they would almost always be caused by ntoskrnl and have page fault, memory management, or unpaged area. I ran memtest86+ and both the sticks passed, so I thought it was drivers. Reinstalled OS, only while it was reinstalling the files would get corrupted during copying. This happened regardless of which dual channel bay I put it in.
The way I found that fixed it (after trying different 1.5xx Voltages) was to just have one stick in. It finished install and went a long time before the blue screens started again, but was able to install OS.
I have the voltage set to 1.561volts (I believe) as well as the CAS Set to 9-9-9-24 as is listed on the stick. I tried to follow the instructions in the thread about Memory controllers for AMD Processors being wonky and put both the chips into single channel mode and downclocked the speed to the lowest DDR3 option, but had to go to work, and haven't had a chance to test it.
If it fails, what other options can I pursue? And for that matter, my motherboard asks for a whole book's worth of information for the RAM that I can't find anywhere. Can I get the specifics for all the rams stats to plug in so I can try to get this into Dual Channel Mode?
Model of the motherboard: Asrock 870 Extreme3
Model of the memory: 2gx2 |GSK F3-10600CL9D-4GBNT R
Model of the CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2ghz Black Edition
Problem: System instability while not gaming in Windows 7 x64
Oh, and another interesting note: the system would never become unstable while playing games. I would play FFXIV cranked on high settings and Shogun 2 and never had an issue, until I tried to run an installer or double click ATI Catalyst Control in the taskbar.
Thanks, and sorry for the long post.
