Windows 10: Can Windows be responsable for this? Or BSOD related to bcd? Both 8gb ram were tested, they...

memory_management bsod. Does memtest86 v7.4 test onboard ram?

I just got my 2nd memory_mgmt bsod in 2 months.
My laptop has 8gb soldered ram on motherboard, and 8gb stick ram. 16gb total.
memtest detects 16gb ram, but only lists the Samsung 8gb ram stick under system info.
Even though memtest doesn't identify the onboard ram chips, does it still test them?

B2 Phenom + 8GB ram = BSOD

Just and Update to this, Stricly speaking my Mother Board only lists support for 4Gb Ram its a Jetway NC 81 ( JNC-81 ) It takes notebook memory in the shape of 2 x SODIM sticks. But it does appear to see 4GB sodimms OK.

It has a Phenom 9350e quad proc:

running XP 64 1x 4GB stick and a 1x 2GB (6GB total) stick runs fine
running XP 64 2x 4GB stick (8GB total) Intermittant fail with BSOD

Memtest+ with 2x 4GB runs absolutley fine

running Windows 7 Beta 64 2x 4GB stick (8GB total) runs fine

I tried tweaking the VDIMM and NB as suggested and it made no difference, What i have tried is a beta version of Windows 7 and that runs absolutley fine with the full 8GB.

I know the MB doesn't officially support 8GB but i woudln't be at all suprised if that was mainly due to 4gb SODIMS only recently becomming available.

The upshot is that if it runs ok with Windows 7 then its not likely a CPU issue.

Seems to be more an XP thing? If anyone has any thoughts as to why XP won't run in this combination i'd love to hear it.

Thanks

Windows shows 8GB RAM installed but 4GB RAM is usable

Hi There,

I've just upgraded my pc from 4GB RAM to 8GB RAM. Windows seems to have detected this upgrade but why does it show as only 4GB RAM available. The following is what I have tried so far with no luck:

• I have tried the msconfig method on ensuring maximum memory is not checked.
• physically removed the new RAM and reinstalled it

Any thoughts/suggestions on how i can resolve this matter?

Thanks
