New ram problems.
OK, I have an Athlon 2500+ on an MSI board.
Currently I have 2x 512mb Corsair Ram sticks DDR 3200 400mhz. For Christmas I received a 1gb stick of Kbyte DDR 3200. All stats are identical. I didn't want to switch brands, but it was a gift and I'd like to get it to work.
There's a few problems. When I install all 3 sticks, My computer will either get stuck in a boot loop, or will go into a system failure and do a memory dump. It seems to go into system failure now mostly.
If I remove both of my old sticks and ONLY use the new stick, I can boot up and perform normally for a while but after a while 5, 10, maybe 30 minutes it'll just lock-up. No error messages or anything. It does the EXACT same thing if I combine 1 old stick with the new stick.
I can't do a memtest because I don't have a floppy OR a CDR.. sigh.. sucks but I never had any use for either of those things before tonight.
