Cannot figure "when" started, but freezes randomly. But looks like when system in usage (semi stress), gaming, or I'm doing something on pc. (last night left pc to download, its stays without freezes 5-6 hrs).

Tested RAM DDR, with http://www.memtest.org
x64 version with all threads on, 4/4. test cannot be completed coz freezes:
test No1. freezes at 27%
test No2. freezes at 21%

please tell me do I need contact with manufacturer? to have replacement
or sell current RAM coz its not supported by my Asus Motherboard "Qualified Vendors List"??? that my idea - not supported here you have issues.
BIOS settings stands on CPU/RAM AUTO tweak, when choose XMP profile PC cannot run normally, have to return back to 1300MHz ram

****may need additional test, just let me know, ill do n post results. VGA passed from beginning when arrived.
:mad: :confused:

Send the RAM back to Corsair if over a year old. If under, send back to the retailer.

Don't sell it as it sounds faulty. The fact it was working fine and now isn't suggests the fact it isn't officially supported isn't the cause of the problem.
 
My PC freezes continued after installed different memory.
But its stopped when changed Graphic card from GTX 780 into GTX 660 Ti.
There different power consumption. 660 less 100w.
My 780 now standing 3th day in friend PC, without any freezes.

Is it possible to test power supply without physical tester?
