Memory crashing my computer?
Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2008 2:57 pm
Okay folks, It's probably got a dumb question, but hopefully you folks could clear the tunnel for me and shed some light on this.
I recently put another Gig of memory into my custom built computer (I had 1GB in it already of 2 512MB Corsair sticks). the Gig that I just recently put in was also the same memory, 2 512MB sticks. So now I have 4 512MB sticks in there. Following me? Okay, great. Now my Motherboard hold 4GB, and has 4 slots. All of them being filled now. Now my question is this: Could this be causing my current restarts? So is having 4 512MB sticks worse than having 2 1GB sticks?
Heres the problem: With no warning, my computer just restarts, and gives no explanation why. No messages come up, nothing. I have dissected this a little bit and I'm at a loss. I know its not CPU Temp, or any other temps for that matter, cause I have been monitoring that. I have ran Memtest86 for a long time without any errors. So what can this be? What else should I be looking for that may be causing these random restarts? Thanks.
