Freeze/Crash & BSOD issues

[Adament]

I guess I can safely discard both theories as a myth, as my gf suffers from the same gfx driver reset, bacl screen and BSOD issues and is actually running a mediocre system (an old Athlon II X4 with an ATI Radeon HD4650 gfx card) with no more than 4 GB of RAM. She does however run Win 7 64-though, but that's what I run, too, without any of those issues.

Windows calculates RAM @ RAM + Video RAM, so, you GF maybe running more than 4 Gigs (depending upon the MB/Graphics Card {dedicated or no}, some laptops share and some don't ).

I did talk to some people in my free company, and 1 person out of 6 (I think) that ran 64 bit did not have a problem. I would have questioned further on the specifics of his system, but I'd rather be playing. You can check your total RAM by doing a dxdaig, just type dxdiag in the search bar of your OS, then ad your system memory to your display memory= total RAM; as far as windows is concerned.

That would be interesting though if the RAM was 4Gb or less on a 64 bit system, that's something I'm unable to do. I guess I'm just looking something in common with this particular problem. The wild card seems to be, who doesn't have this problem, that also uses similar equipment/software as everyone else.

Sometimes its crunchy sometimes its slimy, but its always Fresh!~

Oh, another thought I had almost missed. DDR3.

The FC people I talked to were all using DDR3, but it maybe nothing. Anyone using DDR2 for RAM on your MB's with issues?

This is just a fart in the wind, but it was brought up.
