About a month ago I upgraded my RAM from 4GB to 8GB.
The old RAM is: G.skill F3-10666CL8D-4GBRM.
The new RAM is: G.skill F3-10666CL9D-8GBXL.
Recently, I have had two BSOD crashes on my computer. Window 7 had me run a memory dianostic which failed. I also ran Memtest 86+ (V 4.10) which imediately failed with numerous errors. I removed and reseated the RAM twice, but the failures still occur. I reinstall the old RAM and Memetest passes.
The RAM confiuration in BIOS is the default (by SPD).
I bought the RAM at NewEgg. However the 30 day return period has expired. Thus I belive I have to deal with G.skill to replace it.
My questions are:
1. Is the RAM really bad or is there some BIOS stting I should try?
2. Should I return the RAM to Newegg or G.skill?
I built my computer almost two years ago. The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-P55-USB3 and the CPU is an Intel i7-860 Lynnfield 2.8GHz.
Thanks,
George
