Good afternoon everyone,
Today I installed 4GB x 2 Corsair Red Vengeance RAM sticks, these were added to my 2GB x 2 Corsair Ram Sticks that have a lower clock speed.
Whenever I start up a game I can play for a bit I tend to get a BSoD, I know this is a common problem but I'm not quite sure how to fix it.
I have a feeling the problem may stem from the fact that I'm mixing 2 different types of RAM sticks with different clock speeds.
Considering that I've never posted a thread on TSG that was not solved by the gentlemen here, I'm hoping that this problem can be resolved.
Also: Even though my system states that I have 12.0 GB, TSG SysInfo still claims I have 4GB.

Here's what has happened so far:
I'm sure that it will repeat this problem whenever it freezes again, so now I'm aiming to fix this black screen issue.

Here's what has happened so far:
- Had two old RAM sticks & two new RAM sticks = Blue Screen of Death
- Took out the old RAM and tested the new sticks. There were no errors.
- With only the new RAM, my PC froze twice and then would go to a black screen and not boot up.
- After waiting for around 15 minutes, the black screen went away and I was able to use my computer
I'm sure that it will repeat this problem whenever it freezes again, so now I'm aiming to fix this black screen issue.
