| 1371276 | 2014-03-25 15:32:00 | Hi Guys I had one of my first ever Blue Screens of death yesterday. It said it was to do with Memory Management. I shut down and re-booted and it started up all OK Phew I have Windows 7 with 4 gig of Kingston ram in two modules. And my Gigabtye motherboard has 4 memory slots. But I looked at the Control Panel System and Security Admin Tools / Performance Monitor And it said that I had only 2.3 gig of Ram But the Windows Performance Monitor says we still have 4 gig of Ram. So I ran a Ram test Re-boot in Safe Mode Start Menu – Control Panel Administrative Tools Menu Diagnostics Tool – Recommended setting Then it reboots and then runs the test in Dos takes a few minutes – said its all ok But still only 2.3 gig showed up on the Performance monitor! Some people on Google say you need a new motherboard, Ram or drivers etc etc (dur) I have removed and re-seated the memory module sin the same slots. Should I just buy a new set, cheap enough Or can I try the other two slots ? |
