Default Bluescreening

Right i built my new pc at the start of Dec 07 with the following spec


Antec Sonata III Piano Black Quiet Mid Tower Case - With 500W EarthWatts PSU
Asus P5N-E SLI 650i Socket 775 PCI-E Onboard Audio ATX Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Energy Efficient 95W edition Socket 775 (2.40GHz)
Arctic Cooling AC-FRZ-7P Freezer 7 Pro Socket 775 Processor Cooler
OCZ (OCZ2P800LP2GK) 2Gb PC2-6400 DDR2-800 4-4-4-15 DFI (2 * 1GB)
1 * 8800GTS 512mb PCI-E Graphics Card
1 * 160GB SATA HDD
1 * 250GB SATA HDD
2 * NEC Optiarc AD-7170S-0B 18x DVD±RW/DL/RAM Serial ATA Black

Running Windows Vista Business 32bit



Its been spot on since December, but i thought i would add another 2GB memory just to see if it would speed it up a bit,

I put another 2GB in on Friday (2 * 1GB EXACTLY the same OCZ memory as before, the same part number, ordered from the same place), and instantly it started playing up, it would run for a while, and then crash when in game, bluescreening sometimes, other times just becoming so slow i would have to do a re start, then earlier this evening it bluescreened, and refused to boot again,

I played arround with the memory, and it will work with ANY 2 dimms in ANY 2 slots, any combo works, however when you have 4 dimms in it will either refuse to boot or will bluescreen within a few mins.


Any body got any suggestions as to what it could be ?

Its pissing me off now :@ :@ :@
