I have recently installed a new 4gb ram to my system a week back and everything was fine for a 2 days. Then i started getting an error saying AMD display adapter has failed. When i tried to uninstall the drivers, i got a BSOD. The PC was then unable to boot beyond the windows logo where i would get the BSOD error. ATI was the responsible driver and hence i removed the GPU and system booted properly.

However, i was still getting random BSOD - Kmode exception not handled, system exception error, memory management and others. I must have got atleast 5-6 BSOD in the last week. Ran Memtest+, sfc scannow, chkdsk and everything was fine. Also tried changing the RAM slots. The affected driver is ntoskrnl.exe

Finally, i upgraded the BIOS to latest version which is now causing the system to freeze if i have 8 gb ram installed. Further, since the BIOS upgrade i am getting high temperature readings for CPU idling at around 60 to 75C.

My Config:
i5 2400
Intel DH67BL (latest bios)
4 x 4 GB RAM Kingston (1333 Mhz)
ATI XFX HD 5770
2 TB HDD (1 + 1) both WD
Coolermaster GX 450W

Also, CPU Z shows my new Kinston RAM as Transcend in SPD
 
Removing the GPU is allowing me to boot into windows but i am still getting random Bsod after using the system for a few hours.

Could the new ram be an issue?
 
Tried that long ago but it didnt start. Now pc refuses to boot with 2 rams. All the fans keep restarting.

i have formatted my pc and presently running with one ram only (old) . Temperatures are fine and gpu is also working.
 
Have you tried with just the new RAM stick alone? Are the timings of the new and old sticks matching?
 
The timings of both the RAM are matching i was using it without any issues for the first 2 days. However as i mentioned above, CPU Z shows the new kingston RAM as Transcend. I havent tried with only the new ram. Will do that tonight.
 
The PC was working fine with the old ram for over a week. I then replaced the old ram with the new one and am getting BSOD errror.
 
I have not modified any settings in BIOS.

I will contact Kingston for replacement. Any clue how long it will take?
