Hey folks,

need a troubleshooting assist. My friend has asked me to help TS his machine. He has 4x4gb sticks, currently running 2 in dimm1/3 for 8gigs. When he puts in the other sticks, the computer boots, recognizes the ram, and bluescreens at reboot. Below are the specs.

Dell SX4850-45u running Win 7 home prof. x64

Intel core i5-2300 @ 2.80 (overclocked to 3.10)
8GB Corsair DDR3 1333 (with 2 slots to spare)

Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe bad ram. Try 2 sticks at a time, testing the new ram. Also, try running at default settings.

2 sticks work. 4 sticks do not work @ default settings.

have you run the memtest to confirm ?

i had a friend recently ran 4 sticks and it keeps erroring out in memtest but not when 2 sticks are in at the same time. end up giving him a new motherboard and 4 sticks works

Haven't run memtest. I'll post the results.

2 sticks work. 4 sticks do not work @ default settings.

Have you tried using only the 2 new sticks?
(remove the old ones and use the same slots)

All 4 sticks purchased at the same time. Old ram has been re-utilized in another machine.

Bring CPU and everything else to stock speeds.
And check in BIOS that memory latency is set to the correct value.

It's a dell. Not much speed adjustments no?
