Strange ram problems

ImmortalZero · 10-21-2006, 05:37 PM

Ok now i have a problem that i cant seem to figure out. I have 4 sticks of ram in my pc. All of them are the VS512MB400 so its not a compability problem. I keep getting Blue screens followed by a reboot. Each time is a diffrent message, Page _fault_in_a_non_paged_area was the most alarming.

So i dowloaded Memtest and ran each of my sicks through all 9 tests until i got to 100% on each and had no errors. I put all my sticks back in and got errors on test 4. I then tested each dual channel slots 1 at a time and they both passed.

So according to my tests all 4 of my Dimms are fine and all my ram slots are also fine but for some reason i cannot run all my ram at a time or i get read errors.

Here are my specs
Athlon 64 3200
Asus A8V motherboard
4xVS512MB440 ram
BFGTECH Geforce 7800GS AGP
Sound blaster Audigy 2 ZS
2xhard drives (40g Western Digital and 200gig Western Digital)
2x DvD drives
Generic 450W PS(came with the case)

Upgrade your power supply. I'd recommend no less than 550W from a quality vendor such as enermax, fsp, sparkle, antec, seasonic
