Hi,
Firstly, I am useless with RAM. When I chose my RAM, I just chose the ones that visually looked the best that ran at 1600mhz!!! (this was in August)
Recently I started overclocking and I was doing quite a lot of reading and I thought I'd try to get my RAM to 1866 or above. I got it to around 1866 and after weeks of use, everything seemed stable so I just left it there.
I took all my OC's off a bit later and now I get errors and BSOD's fairly often, especially when shutting down.
I've read through the sticky about troubleshooting but I got stuck at the first hurdle - running memtest
Normally I get an error when exiting itunes or shutting down saying something like "error: memory could not be read" and I have had 2 BSOD's related to memory.
How exactly do I run memtest and determine whether or not my RAM is faulty?
As I said, I am pathetic with RAM so help is really appreciated.
Thanks
