BSOD linked to memory?

[carlazai]

Had the rig in sig. below on a MSI 975X motherboard. It has been stable at 3Ghz for the last 3months but in the last 24hrs it started BSOD on MTW:2 and COH during fast bits. Never did this before. Thought i would check everything and noticed on corsair memory page this

Do i need to pump the voltages up to get these timings because i never had it like this before. Couyld this be the cause of the problems i.e. BSOD etc

Cheers for any help

Have you tried to run memtest86 or something to test for problems with your memory?

Have you been able to see what the BSOD says? If it restarts too quick, go to Control Panel > Permance and Maintenance > System > Advanced Tab > under startup recovery click on Settings > Uncheck Automatically Restart under system failure. If i remember right, this should prevent your PC restarting immediately after a BSOD, so then you have a chance of seeing what might be causing the problem.

It might also help to go into Administrative tools > event viewer to have a look at what errors you have. It may point you to something like a driver, or perhaps something else.

You will need to run that memory at 2.1v for stability.
