Hi,
I have a Dell Vostro 430 with the Core i7-860.
I've had it for over 3 years and not had any real problems with it, however I upgraded the memory recently to this - Crucial 12GB DDR 1333Mhz Ballistix Sport
It ran absolutely fine for a week or so, not a single crash, but suddenly yesterday it was throwing up constant errors, I couldn't open any applications and I keep getting BSODs.
I wasn't sure if it was a virus due to a couple of factors, including Microsoft Security Essentials being disabled for no reason, and also the computer runs fine in safe mode, or in regular Windows with services disabled, but then reading through these forums it looks like there are a number of RAM compatibility issues... is the RAM I purchased suitable?
I also do not know which slots to put them in... some slots are black, some are blue, or does it not matter?
Many thanks
