my specs:

vista ult:32
asus strike extreme (bios up to date)
2 x 160 hdd
dvdrw
2 gb corsair xms2 pc6400
8800gts
750w psu



im trying to add 2gb of corsair xms2 again to have 4g but im getting random bsod,ive added 4gb to it before and it was fine,but this time im getting all sorts of bsod,wondered if any one had any ideas,if i take the memory out its fine then as soon as it goes back in it reappears

bsod msgs


1.sptd.sys (googled it and says its related to daemon tools,i un installed it and deleted file)

2.acpi.sys

3.bad pool header (i thought this may of been cos i had usb hdd connected but it does it when its not)

anyone else had the same issue?


memory passes tests and bios sees the 4gb ok it just bsod before it reaches windows login

Hi saintecho01 -

I saw you "threaded" here and remembered your post on another BSOD issue in the XP Support Forum. If you would like, while the speacilists here in the Hardware Forum are reviewing this, I'd be glad to take those minidumps off your hands for a while and run them through the debugger.

Simply attach them to your next post in a zip file, I'll extract and run them when time permits. OK?

Regards. . .

I've had this issue on several builds, try relaxing the memory timings to 5-5-5-15 or 5-5-5-18 and increase the memory voltages a little. There is a Hotfix for Vista32 some people have had good luck with, after install make sure that it appears in the list of installed patches. I have 8 sticks of Corsair XMS2 and have yet found a combination of sticks that will not cause errors in my main PC with 4x 1gb installed.
