    BSoD, x850xt, and new memory

    Well, it looks like the stability issue might be fixed. I worked on the computer all day, then played WoW for about 2 1/2 hours (off and on). No BSoD! Thanks to everyone for your help and patience!

    BSoD, x850xt, and new memory

    Hey, Fern: Thanks very much for the help. Last night I called Falcon support and they walked me through some BIOS changes. Unfortunately, my BIOS doesn't allow me to make many alterations to the memory. In fact, all we changed was disabling the automatic setting for SDRAM configuration from...

    I'm not at my system, so I don't know the PSU brand, but I am sure it isn't crap. The system is an older Falcon Mach V, so all the components should be pretty darn good (for 2 1/2 years ago, anyway). Are all memory failures due to bad memory? For example, using Memtest86, I had memory...

But another thing occurs to me -- power. Could this at all be caused by my power supply? It is only 365w, and the video...

    Yep, I did that. Each stick checks out fine by itself. When used together, I got several errors...and I guess I need to do that again to confirm if Memtest is working correctly. For example, the Memtest docs say: "There are some systems that cause Memtest86 to be confused about the size of...

    BSoD, x850xt, and new memory

    I recently bought an ATI Radeon x850xt and a new 512 stick of memory from Crucial. I updated the BIOS, reset the system back to its original configuration (used the Falcon restore disks), applied updates to the OS, uninstalled drivers for old video card, switched cards, installed new video...
