So I picked up a q9400 a little over a week ago. Its running great. (specs in sig)
But Last week, I noticed I kept getting BSODs. I narrowed it down to the fact that it was occurring when I was using Azureus/Vuze.
Through my research on the topic, I narrowed it down to one of two things:
1. Hard Drive issue
2. Memory issue
I double checked all plugs on motherboard and hard drives. I ran disk check and error repair on all disks. The BSODs came back.
Then I found someone stating that it may be that the bit torrent client is causing a memory error when it is caching. So, I removed two of the 1gb sticks I had in there, and I didnt seem to get a BSOD overnight at all (or this morning) when I was using the PC w/ Azureus/Vuze running.
So, I am wondering if since I just switched my CPU, flashed my BIOS to accommodate that CPU, and the FSB is now changed, should I not be using DDR2-800 RAM? Id like to go back to 2x2gb or 4x1gb (and never had this issue before upgrading from an e2200 to the q9400).
