I Have these Hardware:
- Asus MOBO - P8Z68-V LX
- G.Skill - Ares 1600C9-4GAO (2x4)
- CPU i5 2400 (3.4GHz / 6MB cache )
- Windows 7 64Bit Ultimate (SP1)
this system have BSODs randomly ( every ~ 2 - 3 hours )
and sometimes applications like firefox and others, show error messages and close, when I try to open it again, show the error and close. doing this many times, and it may run again normally after many trials !!!!!
When running the XMP profile, This doesn't fix BSODs
When running the XMP profile + Memory frequency to 1333 rather than Auto or 1600, This give some stability,,,
but still have errors through (Prime95 v272), and firefox still hangs sometimes , but not so much ( 2-3 times through 5 hours )
today morning 7:00AM I do that configurations ( running the XMP profile + Memory frequency to 1333 ) and left the windows running ,, and I come back later to find it had a restart at ~ 5:00 PM,, but I was not in front of it,, sure it was a BSOD
just before posting this thread, I run "memtest v4.20" and something strange happened!!
I got more than 20,000 errors ( test time less than 3 minutes )
Test 1 stick at a time, and used the same Bank (memory slot) an both tests ..
1 stick gives the huge umber of errors,,, BUT the other one pass 4% with NO errors!
* Is this a clear case of a bad stick ?? and need to be replaced???
* Does I need to run more than 4% of mem-test to be sure the good one is really good ?
I read through many forums, and yours, find that many people facing this situation,, it may different in Symptoms, but all goes around UN-stable system due to RAM.
So... what's your recommendations, advice here
