    Hello Guys,

    I have a Laptop with Intel Pentium P6200 Processor (http://ark.intel.com/products/50176/Intel-Pentium-Processor-P6200-3M-Cache-2_13-GHz - Technical Spec. Sheet) that can support only DDR3 - 800/1066MHz Memory Modules, but for sometime & by mistake I had been using Corsair CMSO2GX3M1A133-C9 2GB Memory Module(http://www.corsair.com/en/corsair-memory-2gb-ddr3-sodimm-memory-cmso2gx3m1a1333c9 - Technical Spec. Sheet) that runs at 1333MHz. I had been going through my Laptop behaving weirdly & crashing spuriously & given crash info such as irql_not_less_or_equal, page_fault_in_non-paged_area, etc. I want to know does it have something to do with the CPU Supported Memory & Installed Memory mismatch or its something else, & given the above info, the System must work properly with given Corsair RAM Module.

    Memory MHz is not problem, unless you overclock, motherboard automatically uses memory as 800 or 1066 MHz.

    Anyway you can use either HCI Memtest or Memtest86 or both to test if memory has problems.
