Merry Christmas all!
I have been having some stabilty problems lately and was wondering if anybody could help me out or offer any insight.
I have a Gigabyte EP43-UD3L and one stick 2GB Kingston HyperX DDR2-1066(PC2-8500) When i first got the mobo and RAM i never overclocked or changed any of the BIOS settings cause frankly i don't know too much about overclocking and what all those memory specifications mean and i didn't want to break it doing something stupid. I never had a problem until i installed Windows 7 and i kept getting blue screens of death with MEMORY_MANAGEMENT at random times. I tried installing Windows 7 RC1 a few months ago and i couldn't even get thru the install without a BSOD. I thought it was maybe compatibility issues that would be fixed up when retail was released but when i recently tried installing Window 7 retail it BSOD again during install saying MEMORY_MANAGEMENT. I moved RAM to 3rd memory slot and it got thru install( maybe just coincidence) but then i started looking online and tried changing RAM settings with varying results. I had been running Windows XP and Vista at 6-6-6-18 at 1.8V (thats just default board settings) and never had a problem but Kingston lists 5-5-5-18 at 1.8V / 5-5-5-15 at 2.2V. If i run it at 5-5-5-15 at 2.2V it will blue screen of death two or three times a day and thats the most stable i have found. At 2.0V it will probably BSOD six or more. All at random times and never for any particular reason. I think its odd that it runs smooth on XP and Vista with whatever voltage i try but win7 is picky. I was wondering if anybody could offer any suggestions to get the system to run more stable. Maybe i just need to dial it in more precisely. In the meantime i have just been running good ole XP cuz i couldn't take it anymore with the restarts
