I've been getting BSOD and restarts for a few weeks. The errors are either "PFN_LIST_CORRUPT" or "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL", so i made sure drivers were updated, did a restore and reran update and then did memtest86 and got immediate errors (4dimms of Kingston 2 gb memory. I was able to isolate the dimm with error ( when other 3 were in i ran memtest and it came back clean), so i know the one to replace. The question is do i need to replace 2 of them so they are slotted together or can i just replace the one with errors?
Here is the message I get when I turn on my computer "Error loading operating systrem" any ideas? Is it a dead hard drive? This happened after my computer froze I then got a blue screen, when i turned my computer back on I got that message.On top of all this Dropbox has been down for the last 19 Hours!!! So I can't even access my files from my wifes computer.
if you're going to replace with the same kingston dimm then its usually finewhich mobo?[p.s. why waste 4 slots with 2 each?! get a decent 4x2 or 4x1 = they're around $80 for a good one iirc]links:Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) $84.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148347Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333$69.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104231G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)$69.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428 CORSAIR Vengeance LP 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)$77 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233366
