639146 2008-02-11 19:56:00 Yup removing things from startup, that dont have to be there can speed things up a bit / lot

Yup, I know you use Nero, BUT do you use Nero Home?

Thats like the Mediacentre side of it, if you installed Nero Home

If not, tick the entry I posted.

Have you ticked all of those entries (besides the Nero Home one, if u use it).

See if games crash now.

639147 2008-02-11 20:58:00 My system only crashed when I was playing games.Fingers crossed for it not crashing when I try to game again:badpc:

Only 2 things cause BSOD, memory or Hardware Drivers

639148 2008-02-11 22:01:00 Games still crash,I can game perfectly when I remove one stick of RAM.
Heres (img90.imageshack.us)a pic of the Gigabyte default settings for my memory,it doesn't look like its running the settings that Kingston (www.valueram.com)has on its product page.

As I said on page 2 of this thread, give the memory a voltage tickle, during gaming the memory will be getting hammered, a little extra voltage will help it keep its data intact especially when passing the from channel to channel, which is why it runs okay on single channel.

Ok,ill give it a try.I just don't wanna fry the memory.Is the default CAS timing the my motherboard selected corrent?

That memeory is tested to 2.2v, default is only 1.8v

639152 2008-02-12 02:43:00 Why's the CAS latency at 5-7-7-24? It's supposed to run fine at 5-5-5-15.

Set the memory voltage at 2.2v, as as Sol pointed out, your motherboard may only be giving it 1.8v.

I know my old Adata RAMs could take up to 2.1v, and my motherboard gives all RAM sticks 1.8v as default, so I had to manually increase the voltage to overclock my RAMs.

639153 2008-02-12 05:01:00 I have no idea why my motherboard set the CAS latency at 5-7-7-24.I haven't changed anything so I guess its the default setting.Should I change it.My memory is running at 2.2V heres (img225.imageshack.us) a pic. Krisby5 (13221)
639154 2008-02-12 22:58:00 I just got a different BSOD (img172.imageshack.us).Should I change my CAS latency? Krisby5 (13221)
639155 2008-02-12 23:09:00 Reinstall Windows, (clean install), install the mobo drivers, then the sound/LAN/video card drivers. And updates.

DON'T install ANY drivers from the WU site.
