Motherboard: DFI NF4 Lanparty Ultra-D
Today I upgraded from a half a gig of RAM (Corsair Value PC3200) to a gig of RAM (Corsair XMS3200 CMX-3200C2PT). Everything was working fine until I opened up a game called "EVE Online". Here's where the problem starts. The log-in screen comes up and everything is still running, but when I logged in, my computer immediatley rebooted. I thought I had just run into a normal error or something, but when windows loaded and it came to the log-in screen for windows, it restarted itself again, and again, and again, and again, you get the picture. I noticed something else too, it usually says "Backing up CMOS....OK!" before loading windows, but with this error, it didn't do that, keep this in mind for later.
I thought something was wrong with my RAM so I ran Memtest and came up with 0 errors. I decided to take a stick out to see if it would boot and guess what? It did. This time it showed, "Backing up CMOS....OK!". I shutdown my computer and inserted the 2nd stick and booted up. It was back to normal. It loaded windows without any restarts and had the message, "Backing up CMOS....OK!". I thought this was really strange so I decided to see if this would happen again if I ran "EVE Online" and it did.
By the way, when I booted into windows succesfully, it gave me one of those error report things saying something like, "Windows has just recovered from a serious error." I decided to click details and it say's this, "C:\DOCUME~1\Morg\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER8ebd.dir00\Mini080106-10.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\Morg\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER8ebd.dir00\sysdata.xml"
I repeated the process of taking out one stick of RAM, booting into Windows, shutting down, inserting the 2nd stick, booting into windows again, and then everything was back to normal.
I haven't tried to see if this happens with all my games, but seriously, does anyone have ANY idea on what the hell is going on here?
Thank you in advance.
