Hi, I've got a nearly to the day 18 month old Giga-byte P35-DS4 that has developed an issue with the RAM causing BSoDs.
I'm running 4 1GB Corsair sticks and I've memtested them all on their own in slot 1; 2 sticks in slots 1 and 3, then 2 and 4; and finally 4 sticks using all the slots. The only time I'm getting a failed memtest is with all four slots in use.
This is leading me to believe that its something to do with the board and all it not liking all the slots being in use and though I talk about testing in memtest, I also have the symptoms that I can't boot to windows with all the sticks in (i.e. it BSoDs on windows start), were as I can if I just have one in.
I don't think I need to do a bios update as I was running 2 of the sticks for a year and then 4 sticks for 6 months with no issues. This all started in last weeks rather hot temperatures, though the case I'm using is a Antec P182 that had all its fans on full and I had the window open
So really I'm presuming I'm barking up the right tree thinking I need a motherboard RMA and want to know with the board being 18 months old, can I go to scan to initiate the RMA (I live in Liverpool so I can drive over) or do I need to deal with Giga-Byte now
