Ok, so I've been getting BSODs with the message "IRQL not less or equal" and I'm thinking that it may be a memory problem.
I've had the issue for a while now and can't return the old RAM. I can bear it sometimes, but other times it's just so annoying especially
when I'm in the middle of an MMO game of something with my friends.
So I've decided to get a new set of RAM to try out. So far I've come down to choosing from these three:
Kingston KHX1333C9D3K2/4G
Kingston KVR1333D3N9K2/4G
G.Skill F3-10600CL9D-4GBNQ
I'm not purchasing in the US, I'm buying them over in Taiwan while I'm here with my parents during the summer.
I'm not really leaning towards buying in the US and on newegg only because I live with my guardians there and I don't feel comfortable with
them making the purchase for me. (I just don't really want them thinking that I waste money on too much stuff, since I already asked
to buy a few things this year that are pretty expensive. Plus my PC isn't completely unusable even with these problems.)
That said, I wanted to ask which set of RAM above would work best with my motherboard? I know the Kingston Value RAM is tested with
my motherboard and should work but I don't know about the other two. I might or might not OC in the future, I'm not sure yet since it
depends on what FPSs I'm getting in the next few months. If anyone has experiences with this motherboard and has a good set of RAM
to recommend for a good price, I'm all for it
While I'm at it, I also want to ask if I need to upgrade anything to play upcoming games like BF3, MW3 and such.
Current Specs:
Intel Q9400 @ 2.66Ghz (Stock cooler and speed)
Intel DP45SG
Corsair DDR3 1333 2G*2
XFX GTS250 512mb
PC power and cooling silencer 420 ATX (80+ certified)
Case is a CM mid tower (forgot which one)
Current screen resolution is 1440*900
I don't need to run the games at the highest resolution just medium and above with 2x AA I guess.
