Well, that certainly is odd. Perhaps it's a particular stick of RAM? You could try isolating each of them and running Windows 8.

I have tried mixing the 3 sticks and it makes no difference, 8 runs fine. Windows 7 runs fine on all 4 I haven't tried putting the sticks in individually yet as I didn't see the point.
Maybe I should do it.

lol not in this one, I am stumped. I am sure my RAM is fine :) or is that famous last words???

Hi all

Works 100% fine with 16 GB RAM installed

Can't understand what the problem is from the O.P.
