I bought new memory for my PC. Ever since, I get random fatal Windows errors (memory management). I have tried a whole bunch of different settings in BIOS with no luck.
When I bought the memory, I didn't know about qualified vendor lists and bought a type of memory not on the list for my motherboard. Could this be the reason for for the random Windows crashing? Memtest86 shows no errors after 5 passes and other memory checking programs also show no errors. The RAM seems to be good.
The only thing I haven't tried is a re installation of Windows. And this is the main question I am asking about: if all else fails, is a re installation of Windows at all likely to get the new memory to work? Has that worked for anyone?
