pcryer Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I have a bad stick and would like to see if I can get an RMA number. I only had the one stick in my computer and due to the messages I was getting I pretty much narrowed my problems down to RAM. I just got back from Fry's where I purchased another stick and installed it. This new memory has got me back up and running. Of course it is another Cosair product. Now I would like to see about getting the defective one replaced. I had the original stick in use for a year or so with no problems. Then out of the clear blue (no pun intended) I started having great difficulty sucessfully booting into Windows. Some days it would take four or so reboots to be sucessful and seemed to be getting worse. After researching the various messages I was getting at the blue screen of death, I was able to pretty much pin-point it to the RAM. Here are the messages that I can remember: PFN_LIST_CORRUPT PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
