Compatibility questions ..

Hi,

I have the Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z87 (rev. 1.1) motherboard and the ram I have is
TeamGroup Vulcan ORANGE 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz.

I've been getting random crashes and errors stuff and checked the Gigabyte website and had a look at the list of memories supported by my motherboard.

Well, my memory is not on the list, so does this mean I have incompatible memory sticks ?

everythings at stock speeds.

The only thing I changed was the memory frequency in the BIOS which I set to 2400MHz and the correct timings which are 11-13-13-35 also showed up.

I was getting random crashes, BSOD and random CRC errors. I ran memtest86+ and i got around 296,000 errors

yeah I checked the memory voltage in the BIOS and its at 1.65V.

yeah i tried swapping the sticks and also testing one at a time and it showed up with the errors each time.

Sounds like it may be faulty.

btw i'm thinking of getting it exchanged for Corsair ram. Can you let me know if this ram (link below) is compatible with my motherboard which is Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z87 (rev. 1.1).

Hey thanks for the recommendation. Just double checked the motherboard and the cpu socket seems good So it defo seems like bad ram
