After a blue screen (unable to read the error message; disappeared too quickly), I wasn't able to boot my pc anymore (fans spinning up, lights working, but nothing on screen).
And because the most common reason a pc doesn't want to boot anymore is failing RAM, I tried to reseat the Sticks. After fiddling with the sticks for a while, it turned out they both worked fine, until we use them together.
We also tried resetting the CMOS, did not have any effect.
I was able to read the start of the blue screen though: "the file is possibly corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum"
Anybody able to help here?
Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit)
AMD Athlon II x2 255
2x Kingston value ram sticks (2gb each, clocked 1333mhz
Asus M4A78LT-M LE motherboard
Gigabyte AMD HD 5670 Video
Update:
So far we found out that the problem is in the RAM, when one module is installed (no matter which slot or stick) it's fine. But when both sticks are installed the system crashes. We found the same results in MemTest, it only gives errors when both sticks are installed (pass 1(18%), test 7(52%))(a infinitely increasing number)..
