I have been experiencing infrequent BSOD since I built my computer about a month ago. I'm pretty sure my drivers are up to date since I used driver verifier to check. I'm suspecting my RAM might be a problem since the last three BSOD were caused by ntoskrnl and my RAM fails a memory test. I didn't know enough to test my RAM when I first built my computer. Hopefully, it's not bad RAM and it's something else. I attached the most recent BSOD. Unfortunately, I don't have the other two that happen earlier. Their minidump files disappeared somehow??

Config:
Mother Board: Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955
RAM: G. Skill 2 x 2GB DDR3 1600 F3-128000CL9D-4GBRL
Graphics Card: XFX HD-577A-ZNFC Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128bit GDDR5

My computer has been BSOD free for two weeks now. I never used my friend's 1333Mhz RAM. It took him a couple of days to get it to me and my computer was stable so I decided to leave my RAM in. I still have his RAM if I need it but as of now my computer has been very stable. Thanks for all your help!
Tabby I'd just check the gigabyte forums first.. Hang on I'll find a couple..
 

Tabby,
after doing some reading around the net it seems those sticks should work fine as long as the settings are correct in the bios. Is it possible for your friend to lend you good RAM to test the board with?
 

Yes, I can have it by the end of the day. By the way, my computer has been pretty stable for the past couple of days. The BSOD tend to happen infrequently so it could be awhile before I know if the problem is fixed or not.
 

No worries.. We'll be here.. Great you got some RAM which is known to be good.. Now if you blue screen again, depending on what the dump say's, it could be the mobo? Hopefully we'll know soon enough.
 

A friend of mine offered to lend me a stick of his RAM that runs at 1333 MHz to try but its not on Gigabytes compatibility list. I guess I just have to suck it up and buy some new RAM that is compatible.


Before it crashes, set the DRAM frequency 1333 Mhz.

How did you stabilize your system, did you adjust he frequency or upgraded bios or did anything else?
