installed 3X 4GB vengance sticks of ram running at 1600 MHz a few days ago and since instillation i have been getting blue screens with the error message shown above. I have removed my old ram entirelly so there is no conflict there. Looking on microsofts website it looks like a software bug where values are being pointed to wrong memory locations causing a system crash. If this is the case what would i need to do to fix it? RMA the RAM or reinstall the OS??

thanks in advance

I had this, reinstalled Windows and it all went away

have you set the right voltage in the BIOS, also the timings?

tam timings were too low, have changed to what they should be and will check if this solves the problem! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction hyperst
