Hi, I am new to these forums so i'm just gonna put it straight, I bought a new gaming tower a month ago, these are the specs. 8GB DDR3 RAM ATI - HD Radeon 6770 1024 MB AMD-FX 4100 3.6Ghz Gigabyte M68MT Motherboard Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Everything was fine until today. I started getting random BSOD saying ''MEMORY_MANAGEMENT'' I system restored and then i was getting both unstable / stable crashes, applications would turn to not responding and then would follow by a BSOD or i would randomly get one at startup. I looked in to it and it says the RAM could be faulty, so i removed a 4GB stick of ram, and booted up, everything is fine. no errors. I inserted the RAM back in and booted, BSOD straight away.. However i did overclock my graphics the night before the errors started to occur. does this have anything to do with it? They are set back to normal now. Is my RAM faulty? And should i be able to get a replacement as i have 1 year warranty and have only owned the computer just over a month. Thankyou.
If the graphics card is set back, does it do it now ? Was it messing up before you touch the graphics ? you will have to narrow it down. Is the computer overclocked ?
The computer was fine before i overclocked, then i played for a couple of hours and it froze. Then i rebooted and started to get the BSOD's, however i have lowered the overclock back.
Agree. I'm not sure if it's coincidental or not or if there is a correlation between the two. I don't think that overclocking your GPU affected your memory stick. But if there is, maybe your GPU fried the stick or maybe the stick just faulted out on its own.
