msjanowski Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I've been having random problems with Windows XP lately, so I decided to reload Windows XP from scratch. When I attempt to install, 100% of the time I get a BSOD with a "STOP 0x0000007E" error. When I use memtest86 to test the memory, I receive hundreds of errors per second. My setup is as follows: Asus A8N Sli-Deluxe, with the latest bios, which is 1017.4, I use all the default settings for memory and CPU. I do not overclock. AMD X2 3800 CPU. Matched set of CMX1024-3200C2 (Also says XMS3202 v2.1, 0616077-0, CL2) purchased at Frys Electronics as a pair in the same package. When using replacement memory, memtest86 reports zero erros, and Windows XP installs correctly. Is there something I am missing, or should I request an RMA for these modules?

msjanowski Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 I upped the voltage to your suggested 2.7 volts, and ran memtest86 again with the exact same results. I still get hundreds of errors per second, and am unable to install XP without getting a BSOD with a stop error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
