the ram: 2x4GB kit
Manufacturer : G Skill
Part Number : F3-10600CL9-4GBSQ
Serial Number : 0018D6EC529D2C18
Type : DDR3-SDRAM PC3-10700 (667MHz) - [DDR3-1333]
Format : SO-DIMM (67.6 x 15)
the issue:
I own acer aspire 4820TG laptop.
right after I got it, I swapped the original memory for that kit.
that was april 2011. recently my system has become unstable, i was getting lot of BSOD. so obviously tried to find out a reason for that.
first thought it's windows, so i tried to reinstall, but at first I could not complete the install at all. had to take 1 stick out. Never happened before and I reinstalled windows numerous times with the very same ram before. now i'm still getting occasional BSOD and errors (got 2 sticks back in now)
I've run the memtest diagnostics for memory and within few seconds a red flood of errors starts, literally tens of thousands of errors. tried the same test on my other laptop with kingston memory and it completes with 0 errors.
tried memtest on 1 at the time (in both slots) and 2 together - errors, errors and errors.
