i picked up a new 512 PC2700 DDR SDRAM made by Spec Tek (Spec Tec is marked on the stick). i currently have one 512 PE2700 DDR SDRAM (the stick is marked Samsung but Aida32 identfies it as Win Tec). Mother board is a Gigabyte GA-7VRXP. i put the new stick in and i get the BSOD soon as the desktop comes up. both sticks work fine by themselves. i tried lowering/raising the cas latency and ram voltage. no luck on both. also put in the new stick with my friends stick which is a 256 PC2700 DDR and it worked fine. my friends stick with my old one also resulted in BSOD. the only thing i can think of is this. my old stick is double bank, while the new stick and my friends are both single bank. i got this bank info form soft sandra and Aida32. this bank stuff is new to me, never heard of it before. whats it mean and which is better. could this be why my old stick and new stick are not compatible?
