ram problems

[pieffle]

Getting memory error. ran a ram tester and it came back fine, i blue screened twice in a row. all components are new. ripjaw 32gb ram, asus crosshair v formula z. plenty of power. running ram at 1.6v(stock is 1.5) any ideas?

Check each stick 1 at a time, run the pc for an hour at a time between changes.

Why is ram running at 1.6 volts ?

What program is telling you it`s running at 1.6 V ??

Please post a GSkill link to the exact set you bought.

rc tweakit. the stock is 1.5 and it was running into problems when i upped it it smoothed it out. untill now. and hello again!

There is no reason to tweak the ram voltage, make sure all ram timings and speed are set to auto in the bios.

Please post the link.

 

[pieffle]

the timings and everything for the ram are on auto except for the voltage. i cant post a link, its a program for the asus mother board, give me a sec i will post a pick of the screen

I asked for a link to the ram, not the program.


I have no clue about your program, I run a Sabertooth

What is telling you or giving you a memory error ?

Why do you suspect the memory is the bluescreen culprit ?

We have expert BS readers here.

koolkat77 being one

Do what I suggested in my 1st reply to rule out a bad stick.

one was a memory error, the other was something about pool something or other, which from what i read had to do with ram. i only have the problem when im not doing much with the system, if im gaming and pushing the setup, i have no problem what so ever, and it happens at random times. no one thing seems to set it off

Like I said, test each stick.

If one comes up bad, send them back. Get 1 of these 2 sets instead, you don`t seriously need 32 GB of memory do you ?

no i dont need that much but i will not have to worry about needing any in the future either

You can also do what I did, I bought 16 (2x8) when I built my rig, then 16 about a year later. I still only run 16 GB

I run them at 1866 MHz, no issues at all.

Just sent 2 of them back to Corsair, 1 was bad, they will send a brand new set, and they will just go in the drawer

I eventually want the GSkill set I linked.

i wanted to future proof as much as i could with the money i had when i built.

i have down graded slightly with this system. i started with the amd 9590 then went to the 8750

You also have 2 AV in your specs, get rid of both of them, could be part of the problem. They are both garbage.

You only need MSE and MBAM

 

[pieffle]

yep thats her!

 

[pieffle]

and i did get rid of them since last time we talked

OK That`s good
