    You're welcome. I wouldn't recommend mentioning to Corsair that you didn't do ESD safety by the book. If you were careful, that is all they really expect. Post back, and let us know how things go with Corsair and the module RMA.

    Alright, I received my ram yesterday. It seems to work fine (for now) alone but I wanted to run them with the G-Skill Ripjaws 2x4GB (F3-12800CL9D-4GBRBL), same speed same timing but crashes when with the corsair ones...

    BSOD is caused by ram.

    Yeah, mixing and matching RAM usually does not work well. Even if you buy the same timings, same manufacturer, same part number, sometimes it will not work if they were bought at different times. Since you are trying with two different manufacturers, there is likely a conflict, or the old ones are just bad.

    Yeah, I only have 6 GB in my high end system, and I do video editing and video intensive PhD research. Never felt the need to upgrade RAM even with doing such tasks.

    And you are very welcome. :) Enjoy the stable system.

    And Irony strikes! As I was reading your sentence with the word "stable", my computer crashed with memory management as problem. Goddammit. I switched back to the faithful G-Skill. I don't understand, they sent me the Ram in a new package, and I processed very carefully installing the ram avoiding ESD. Still, the BSOD haunts...

    Do each of the following in this order (with your new RAM):
    • Go into the BIOS, go to the exit section, and load setup defaults. Save, and exit.
    • Do your normal routine for a while and see if the system runs stable. If not, proceed to the next step.
    • Download and install CPU-Z and Upload screenshots of the CPU, Mainboard, Memory, and SPD tabs. In the SPD tab, upload an image of each slot.

      Also, go into your BIOS and post all Voltages (CPU, RAM, NB, IMC, etc.) and all RAM settings (timings, frequency, etc.)

      Thanks to Dave76 for help learning RAM Stability

    I shall proceed, but fyi the default settings of ram frequency does not enable XMP directly... Should I reset to default and then change to XMP? Or should I not worry?
