I have gotten about 140 BSODs over past 18 hours after upgrading CPU
I had decided to upgrade my CPU from a dual to a quad core. Right off it started giving me BOSDs anything from bad pool, irql problems, registry problems, ect. I hvae probably gotten about every BSOD code there is by now.
Through a bit of trial and error I have discovered it is my RAM that was giving me the problem.
Had zero problems with the dual core CPU and had run everything in bios at default.
Now with the CPU upgrade I have had to remove 1 of the DDR2 Sticks and manually set the RAM at 4-4-4-12-12 have it limited at 400mhz setting also.
I have tested swapping out the sticks into different RAM slots (2red, 2 yellow) 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-3, 2-4, 3-4, ect. evidentally the new CPU just doesn't like one of them. Tried both sticks swapping around and each stick alone in different slots.
So far I am only running 1 of the sticks of ram (2gb), I would prefer to have both in there. This wasn't an issue with the dualcore (2 years no problems) but apparently the quadcore just wants to be **** about the RAM amount.
Any help you can provide would be most excellent.
I am unable to take screenshots of my bios settings otherwise I would do that to help with the troubleshooting.
