I am running
Asus P8z77-v LK (new)
Intel i7 3770k ivy bridge (new)
coolmaster 212 evo (new)
running 8GB of two 4gb sticks of the crucial ballistix sport)
9600 nvidia GT 2GB vram (from old build, also just using it as a dedicated card for physx)
560 nvidia GT 1gb vram (this was new on my old machine, it's still fairly new)
Corsair Professional Series AX 750 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Gold (AX750) (this was new on my old build, it's only a year old now. Amazon.com: Corsair Professional Series AX 750 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Gold (AX750): Electronics )
Really fast, about the RAM. when I first built this new pc, i got 16 GB of that crucial ram, 4 sticks total, found 2 had errors in memtest, so i rma'd those. I stuck with the other 2 which tested fine, cept prime95 they get an error sometimes. I finally obtained the other 2 new sticks, so i thought, lets take the current 2 out, put these 2 new ones in to double check if they are faulty, or maybe they'll not cause any problems, 'cause that'll tell me if the other 2 sticks i THOUGHT were good, could have really been bad, and that memtest didn't find anything, but prime95 had that one error thing for them.
So i have these other 2 new sticks, in the slots my previous sticks were in, so I am still running 8GB just with the 2 new sticks i got in yesterday, and stuff seems to be even smoother. I test them on prime95 here and there for 10 minutes each, and haven't seen any errors yet, cus the other 2 sticks, they'd have an error sometimes within 10 min of prime95
So maybe it was the ram. Not sure, still have to use the computer more. I may try to let the adobe thing enabled on start up (it was causing me to blue screen on logging into windows) and see if it still blue screens still with these new sticks of ram in.
Also, yes, i have cpu running and the volts stay round 0.816v to 0.832v on idle, but if, lets say, i run prime95, the volts jump up to 1.048v
I tried looking for the RAM settings in bios but could not find out where to change it from 1T to 2T
But so far stuff seems fine. and I am going to try to force bsod (enabling what was causing it to bsod before) and see if it still does with this new ram.
