RAM issues
hi,
I posted a BSOD crash problem about 6 months ago in the BSOD debugging section. Everyone that tried to help were really nice and knowledgeable so I figured I'd give you guys another chance to sort it out haha.
So I have narrowed down the crashes to my RAM sticks. I am running 2x G.Skill 2GB DDR3 1600 sticks in dual channel mode as recommended by ASUS (mobo manufacturer).
The computer starts fine on either stick in any of the 4 DIMM slots so the slots are fine as are the RAM sticks. Its only when I put both sticks in the recommended positions that it crashes on startup.
I have a core i5 750 which is only meant to have DDR3-1333 sticks in it, could this possibly be the cause. The BIOS is running the sticks at 1600 but is also changing the CPU frequency up a little from 266Mhz to 273 I think to match the RAM frequency.
I have no idea about the intricacies of the BIOS nowadays as its changed a fair bit so Ill leave it up to you guys, Ill suply all the information I can.
So my PC specs are:
Intel i5 750 processor
ASUS P7P55D LE Mobo
2x Saphire Radeon 5750 in CrossfireX
2x WD 320GB HDD
1x WD 500GB HDD
OCZ Fatality 550W PSU
Also on a side note what is a safe temperature that the i5 processor should run at. Mine is saying 50-55 degrees at idle. That sounds hot to me and the ASUS tool thinks so too. I'm only running the stock cooler but I haven't overclocked it at all so I have just been taking it as normal.
Thanks for your help in advance.
