I have a Gigabyte P35-DS4 (Rev 2.1, F14 Bios).
I upgraded my computer to Windows 7 64 bit, and am trying to upgrade the RAM from 4GB to 8GB. It had 2x2GB Corsair CGM2X2G800 sticks before, and now has 4x2GB sticks of DDR2-1066 from Crucial bought from Amazon.
Amazon.com: Crucial CT2CP25664AA1067 240-Pin DIMM DDR2 PC2-8500 CL=7 Unbuffered NON-ECC DDR2-1066 1.8V 256Meg x 64 2GBx2 4GB Kit: Electronics
Problem symptoms include crashing when transferring large files between hard drives, and inconsistently calculating md5 checksum files for large (1GB) files.
It passed a memtest86+ test for a day, no errors.
I have not yet run Windows Memory Diagnostic.
I see others have had a similar problem:
It did pass a Prime95 test. The problem appears to be related to large files.
Any advice on where to start is appreciated.
Regards,
Carl
