Damn BSOD...
My 2nd build just started working really weird. P5QL-Pro, E7200, and Crucial Ballistix Tracer 1066/ 1gbx4. I thought it might have been Anti-virus or virus causing it - but realized that it's probably the RAM itself.
When I first built the system few weeks ago, I ran a RAM Test and worked out fine. The Ram modules are from my previous build - and I was glad that I was able to re-use them. Now when I run the Memtest, it's full of errors from the get go.
I guess I'll have to figure out which stick is bad by inserting one by one. Sigh.
I bought the Ballistix Tracer DDR2-1066 back in January, (1gbx2) and bought more last July. Although I ordered the exactly same ones, the former had 2 heat-sink fans, and latter had just single sided hsf. I thought it wouldn't matter, but after doing some researching... I hear a lot of bad things regarding those single sided rams.
I'll see if I can isolate which one is defective, and try to RMA to Crucial themselves... perhaps even changing them to non-tracer versions. I'm rather getting ticked off by the whole thing - as my 2nd build was built around this RAM... Did anyone have any RMA experience with Crucial directly?
And my MB instruction says that it doesn't support RAM modules that's composed of 128mb chips - and guess what. Even though Crucial's website was saying that this RAM is compatible with my MB - but I guess it's definitely not. I might have to try to convince them to exchange them to 2x2gb sticks while sending my whole 4 sets...
I advise people to stay clear of Crucial memory - as it seems like they've dropped the ball....
