additonal memory issues / questions

i have managed to source some additional memory for my PC
i installed the 3 extra sticks and since then i get BSOD from time to time. i swapped over sticks and all seems fine till i install all 6 sticks. i have increased the volatges and reduced the speed to 1066mhz but still errors, my spec is below and would love some sort of guidance on how to resolve this issue many thanks

sounds like a dodgy stick pal.

you need to have just one stick installed, boot into windows and run a windows memory test on each stick to find out which one is messing you around

Either dodgy stick, or not enough power.
Try reseating all the memory to make sure they have good contact.
Try the memory in someone else's computer, and theirs in yours, or even swap psu. This should help you figure out what's at fault.

not enough power??? dafaq?

600w psu for his rig is MORE than enough... looks like a dodgy stick

how much more qpi/vtt voltage did you try?

Are you running an OC on your CPU while doing this? Extra sticks will mean more strain on your IMC so you may find a previously stable overclock needs re-tweaked.

Not enough power is a legitimate concern - not from his PSU but to individual components (see what wazza wrote above^ for examples)
