alucke Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hello, I upgraded from DDR 2100 to DDR 3200 today. Now Windows Vista Crashes every time. Could it possibly be that vista didnt like the upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 It's more likely that your motherboard didn't like the memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I agree. Either the RAM is incompatible, or the RAM itself is bad. Download UBCD, and run Memtest86+. Let it run for a couple of hours. If it shows errors, then your RAM is bad, and you should return it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Or just put the slowest RAM in sloth 1, and set your CAS, RAS and CAS to RAS setting on 3 to test it like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alucke Posted July 27, 2007 Author Share Posted July 27, 2007 I tested the memory with Memtest86+, and everything seems fine. I even set the CAS to 2.5 in the bios and its still crashing. Should i try to reinstall vista and see if that fixes the problem, or should I take the Memory out and return it to Newegg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Before reinstalling...take out the new memory and put your old memory back in. I'm willing to bet the crashes stop...unless the new memory corrupted something.If the new memory isn't compatible with your motherboard it can test fine, but still cause crashes.

puntoMX Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Sounds like heat is building up.Are all fan´s running well? When you touch the CPU cooler is it hot/warm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
