Did you run memtest86+ downloaded from this site? http://www.memtest.org/
Look at the screenshot of you memtest86 screen then look at the screenshot of your Memory tab of CPUz. Why is there such a major difference? Both memtest and CPUz read the specs directly from the ram modules.
I did download from that site. Could you explain what it is that I am looking at?
What should I do? I'm not very knowledgeable about this kind of things.
I'm still getting memory corruption BSOD, as well as tcpip.sys ones. Any word would be appreciated.
First, go to your motherboard's web site (GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket AM3+ - GA-970A-D3P (rev. 1.0)
), click on Support and downloads, in the OS drop down box put Windows 10 X64, and download the Windows 10 Realtek LAN driver, and Install it. That should solve your lan problems.
Next look at the packaging if you still have it, the receipts or whatever you may have and tell me what ram you bought. I've never seen memtest get ram that far wrong. In your bios, it should tell you your Dram frequency, Dram Voltage and the timings. Tell me what it is set to. On the timings, just the first 4 numbers.
It is not possible to run DDR2 memory in a DDR3 Motherboard.
Also, Next please right click on the start icon and select Command prompt administrator, give admin permissions and copy/paste this into the window that opens and press enter sfc /scannow . If you decide to type it in, please notice the space between the sfc and the /. We want it to say no integrity violations were found. If it says there where corrupt files that could not be repaired, please reboot and run it again. You may have to run it 3 times with reboots in between each time.
Make sure you have the latest firmware for your SSD.
My ram is DDR3-1866 ADATA XPG V2 4GB, I've got two of them. Also the /scannow, did not detect any integrity violations. I wasn't sure what was what in my BIOS menu, so I took a couple pictures. Here is one of them. Tell me if I got the right stuff or not. For the timings I had a channel A and B, so I wasn't really all that sure.

Just checking in again for some help, do you need more than I provided?
Volie, I apologize for not getting back to you. I guess I just missed the notice. I would like to try something. Go into BIOS and look at your sata Controller and see what it is set to (IDE, AHCI or Raid). Remember the setting. Set your BIOS to optimized defaults (F5 usually) it will ask for a confirmation, select yes. Go back to your sata controller and set it to what it was when you looked before. Set your boot order, save and exit. See if that makes a difference. Just make sure your sata controller is set to what it is right now, and set the boot order.
So I haven't had any BSOD's while using my computer full time since I followed the suggestion you gave, so I guess it worked. What exactly was the reasoning behind resetting the BIOS to the default?
