    Why the fuck does my RAM keep going bad?

    Had some shitty 4GBx2 Sticks of old patriot, it lasted me over a year and then I started getting the ntoskrnl.exe bluescreen, so I ran a memtest and got a bunch of errors. I said fuck it I needed new ram anyways.
    Went to the store and bought 4GBx2 sticks of corsair vengance about 3 months ago, now I am getting the same blue screen and a bunch of memtest errors.

    Do I just have terrible luck or can I be doing something wrong on my build to make the memory fail?
    BTW, the RAM failed both times on separate installations of windows.


    It's not a fucking game...

    It's probably a problem with your mobo.

    That's exactly what I thought. Maybe just a memory slot issue. BSOD's sure as hell are a bitch, though. Best of luck with your issue.

    Try removing a stick. You might have a faulty DIMM slot.
