BSOD - Acer Aspire 5750G

Got it, thanks for the information. I find it quite strange they'd add two different sizes, you don't see that too often. Anyway, you can run both at a time for ~8 passes and then one at a time for the same. It'll take awhile, so you can go about your business elsewhere if you'd like. Have your coffee, read the paper, run the errands.. the usual :grin1:

Do you think is it posb to check which Ram stick is bad by testing it while playing a game and to see with which stick I get BSOD that stick is mostly responsible for it? Just an idea to speed up the process or Memtest is only way?
 
You could do that, sure, but Memtest is theoretically the fastest way (even though it may seem like it takes the longest). Not only is it the 'fastest' way, but it's also the most efficient. It's the absolute best way to be sure whether or not your memory is healthy. The reason for this is it was programmed in mind to stress memory in various ways and on different levels. Each test represents a different part of the memory being stressed, etc. Also, Memtest is its own environment, it's entirely separate from the Operating System. Because of this, there's no way that any conflicts can occur and cause false positives. The only false positives that can occur are improper DRAM timings, voltages, etc, within the BIOS. If your memory is set to Auto, this should not be a problem. This is only a problem when the RAM is set to Manual or XMP (it may not be stable at those settings, and Auto is recommended for troubleshooting).

So far I got BSOD with 2gb stick in Slot 0 and Slot 1. With 4gb stick I got BSOD in Slot 0 and currently it's holding fine in Slot 1 but if I get BSOD or if I don't get one I'll do Memtest on both sticks in both slots in upcomming days and let you know results. One question is there a chance that both sticks aren't working properly or even slots which I guess would be related to motherboard?

If you have incredibly bad luck, anything is possible. If you run Memtest on both of the sticks individually and they both pass in the same slot, test them again in the other slots to be sure the DIMM slots on the board aren't faulty.

Ram Stick of 4gigs had 0 Errors after 10hr testing ~10 passes in Slot 1. Will start with others after I finish studying and using laptop. Tomorrow I'll report results of 4gb in Slot 0.
 
Ram stick 2gb after 17 passes in Slot 0 had 0 Errors, and after 11 passes in Slot 1 also had 0 Errors. First Mem teset I did was with both sticks in in both Dimm's( 2gb stick being in Slot 0 and 4gb Stick being in Slot 1). I'll test 2gb stick in Slot 1 and 4gb Stick in Slot 0 at same time.

The very first Memtest I did which can be found couple posts ago gave me errors and it was the one where both Slots (DIMM's) were teseted.

If you get errors again with both installed, we may have an improper BIOS setting in regards to your DRAM timings, etc. We'll figure that out.

After 8 passes and almost 12hrs Memtest showed 0 Errors. I'll switch stick places to do one last combination and see if I'll get same results as I did with first Memtest.

2GB stick was in slot 0 and 4gb was in Slot 1. So this time I'll try 4gb in Slot 1 and 2gb in slot 0 which is last combination.
