I am having a nightmare trying to figure out why I am experiencing GPU problems after upgrading to 2x4GB sticks from the stock 2x2GB that came with my laptop.
Here are the specs:
Static components:
Laptop: ASUS A52JR-X1
CPU: Intel Core i5 430M(2.26GHz)
Chipset: Intel HM55
Graphics Card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 =
1GB Dedicated (Windows reports same AND 3799MB Shared) = My guess is this may be part of the issue. Maybe is I have too much RAM available it freaks out?
Previously:
2x2GB (Offbrand) DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) RAM
Currently:
2x4GB G. Skill DDR1333 (PC 10666) RAM
If I put only 4GB of my new RAM in, everything works fine. However if I put both sticks in putting my RAM up to 8GB, then I have a lot of different GPU problems running games such as
Most prevalent-> 1) Game will freeze, screen flickers, then comes back on. The error in Event Viewer at the time shows: “Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered.”
2) errors loading – DirectX fails to load
3) A few BSOD’s with error Memory Management
