Possibly the worst problem you can have with a computer... RAM. It's so hard to troubleshoot etc...

After testing each stick individually in MemTest and Prime they all pass. However... I was still getting BSOD. Finally tested them in multi-chanel and found the ******* sticks causing all the problems.

So I'm now down to 10GB Ram with 3 Sticks in the Bin -.- (Thanks to corsair not doing a RMA)

On the bright side, you still have 10Gb RAM and a pretty awesome build. And memory prices are still very reasonable. I'd be happy to trade you even for a netbook with Windows Starter and 1GB RAM. You can even make it water cooled if you hold it under the cold water faucet. :roflmao:

1 GB of RAM is like nothing. My phone has more than that (2 GB, its a Nexus 4). Also, I'mm pretty sure water + netbook just MIGHT cause a few hardware problems. :p
