MsA78L and XMS3 RAM Issue


Hello,
First off, I am a new member here; but not a new browser. Love this place

Second, A client of mine seems to be having an issue.. irql_not_less_or_equal BSOD.

His computer isn't overclocked, and was built by myself. I have a feeling its the RAM.. maybe dead or dying. This seems to happen when he plays games.

Specs:
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 640 Socket AM3 3GHz 2MB L2 Cache
Motherboard: Asus M5A78L
RAM: Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1333MHz XMS3 Memory Kit
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium w/SP1 64-bit - English
Graphics Card: Sapphire HD 6450 1GB DDR3 DVI VGA HDMI PCI-E Graphics Card

Any help would be great

If you suspect the RAM, then use either Memtest86+ installed to a thumb drive or optical, or the built-in Windows Memory Diagnostic tool (if running Vista or Win7) to check the RAM for stability. The IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (Stop 0x0000000A) BSOD error can certainly be memory related, but normally it's caused by a faulty driver / incompatible hardware.
