Using Windows 7 64 bit, HP desktop model p6710f.
Was getting Blue Screen crashes almost daily.
The machine has 4 RAM slots. First two contain the original RAM, last two nothing.
Pulled second slotted RAM and rebooted. Machine seemed to work fine
for about one day, then Blue Screen again.
Have had various codes, this one was DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS THAN OR EQUAL
Purchased two new RAM sticks from Amazon.
8GB Total memory using 2pc of 4GB 1333MHz Module 240pin dimm DDR3 10600. Genuine CMS brand, CMS is one of the most trusted names in the Computer Memory industry and this product carries a Lifetime Warranty from CMS. Expansion: 4 Sockets Maximun Memory: 4 GB with 32-bit OS 16 GB with 64-bit OS Features HP Pavilion p6710f HP Pavilion p6715f HP Pavilion p6716f HP Pavilion p6719c
Installed both new RAM sticks into the expansion slots, while leaving in the one old stick.
Rebooted, and computer worked faster and better than when brand new.
This was fine for about 24 hours.
I did run into something very strange. While streaming Netflix, I got an error message.
None of the movies would play, no matter which one I selected.
Netflix tech support told me to try Internet Explorer. Strangely, the movies WOULD play
with IE.
I noticed that Amazon Prime also would not play their video on the Chrome Browser.
I checked, and Chrome is up to date. No solution to this, as I would rahter not have to
switch browsers each time I want to watch a movie.
Went to bed leaving the computer running as I
always do.
Woke to something strange. I had left it running with a Chrome browser screen up.
What I saw instead was Not a blue screen, but the screen you see that offers options on how
to start Windows.
I chose Start Windows normally. The computer seemed to reboot fine.
Yet after only a few minutes of using the relaunched Chrome, the browser froze, the
mouse pointer would not move, no keyboard response. Could not even launch
CTL ALT DEL
Had to physiclly turn off computer. Removed the one remaining
old RAM stick, leaving the two new RAM where they were. Rebooted.
Seems fine now, but I'm concerned it would lock up or reboot with the new RAM
