Thanks Oliver - that was good advise, I have the Asus A7N8X also and was getting
the win32k.sys BSOD. I was running a Kingston 512 chip (KVR400X64C25/512) and memtest86
recorded 50,000+ errors at the optimal setting. I switched to snyc mode and the
errors went down to 1313.
So today, I bought the correct memory (on the Asus recommended list) Corsair CRS-CMX512-3200C2
and recorded NO errors at the optimal (200Mhz) setting. So far no win32k.sys errors
either. Thanks again.....
