First off i have to apologize since I am at work and just registered so I do not have all the specs I might need off the bat.
My comp:
Mobo: Evga 750I SLI FTW
Processor: Intel e8500 (3.16 stock for now)
Cooling: Artic Freezer Pro 7
RAM: 8 gigs (4 x 2gig) Mushkin Ascent 1066 5-5-5-15 2T 2.0V
GPU: Evga Gtx 260 Core 216
NIC: Killer M1
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64Bit
Anyways my problem is the following and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I built my rig in October with only 4 gigs of RAM and never had any BSOD's and everything ran stable. This past week I purchased and installed another 4 gigs of the same ram. I have recently experienced 2 bsod with the IRQ-not-less-than-or-equal crash. I also have had some random processes closing as well, such as Windows C++.
I ran memtest86 on the ram and have had 0 errors after 5 passes, and tested each individual mem slot.
The problem I noticed though is after testing each stick of ram and adding one at a time, Memtest 86 would lock up after 4 seconds when I added the 3rd and 4 stick of ram.
So all in all memtest86 is locking up with anything more than 4 gigs of ram, and my system is unstable as well. What might be the problems causing this?
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or need me to provide additional information.
Thanks
