It looks like I have one bad stick in this set (2048mb X 2). System purchased from NewEgg April 2 2010. MB was RMA's once. The problem has ONLY been blue screen/black screen failures on restart (cold boot) after several hours. Memtest ran with zero errors .. except.. twice after a failed start it showed errors. A shut down & switch off the power supply allowed successful runs of memtest. When started after repair & restore the system would run well. The final codes would vary, but the most frequient was: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.
BIOS settings are ar Gigabyte "optimal. No overclocks or other changes have been made to processor or memory values.
Current status: I finally pulled one of two sticks of memory to test. Result: 4 clean starts after over 4 hours off. This evening I pulled that stick out (from ddr3_1) and replaced it with the other stick - result - restart from Win 7 start screen then to black screen - "repair". I swapped the sticks and started correctly.
It looks like I am out of the 30 day range to RMA to NewEgg and need to return to G.Skill. Do I return just the failed module aor both? also, what is the expected turn around.
Thanks
