My new Xeon E1230-V2 has been acting strange lately (sluggish, few apps crashing and finally, the dreaded BSOD). I thought it was a driver initially so I traced through what I could.
Finally ran Memtest86+ and found that one (or both) of my Patriot sticks were bad. Confirmed this in another PC.
Since it was most likely bad at the start, should I reinstall everything at this point? The memtest program stated that the issue was around the 26-28GB mark of ram and I'm not sure that Windows installer uses anywhere near that when doing an initial install.
What do you guys think?
(Probably should have placed this in the OS forum?)
