Hello all, recently bought two sets of these:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-190-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=813

I am running them in an Asus P5K Wifi deluxe with a Q6600 and Corsair HX620W PSU. I seem to be getting a few randomn BSOD's. I have tried manually setting the RAM timings/voltage in the BIOS and setting to auto (seems to set them the same anyway). I also ran Memtest for an hour and a half and found no errors.

Any ideas what else might help to try?

Thanks!
 
Thanks both I'll try and up the ram voltage first, is it safe to raise it above the 1.8v corsair recommend then? Won't shorten the lifespan or anything? Sorry, memory noob here
 
Most any DDR2 is fine at 2v, would try 1.9-1.95v first though. I'm sure i've seen corsairs own people recommend 2v for this very RAM in their forums.
 
I've got an ASUS P5E3 Deluxe, and on this board one of the difficulties is running with all 4 slots populated, the restriction is the memory controller, it is more than possible that your board is suffering a similar issue, so as suggested, up the chipset voltage for the motherboard, and if still no joy, then back off the timings DRAM frequency a little.

Just do a little searching regarding the max safe voltage for that motherboards chipset, i know for mine it is not got the greatest cooling, and can suffer because of this
 
Hi i bought some of this memory day before xmas eve and having exactly the same problem checked both sticks and they are fine put one it at a time and no problems but when i put both in i get random BSOD's one of the errors i noticed said memory management?
Any help would be appreciated also have upped the voltage as recommended to 2.1V but no difference
 
:) glad to hear, and thanks for returning to let us know what worked for you, it will be a help to anyone searching with a similar issue

@Falcs, i know this is related because it is a similar or the same issue you are getting, but i would start a new thread for your problem, listing all relevant info like components etc and then replies will be specifically for you, and help will be offered based on your hardware :)
