Hey guys,

I have to admit I am a bit of a noob but seem to be winning on some grounds. I have just built my first custom PC.

My set is: i5 2500K, P8P67 LE, 4gb RAM and 2 1tb drives.

Everything in the build went well and I was very cautions in putting everything together in the first place. But I seem to be having a few issues. I have been getting the BSOD when booting up, I have tried booting the computer with one stick of ram at a time to try and see whether maybe I had faulty RAM but with both it worked fine. I am not sure now whether i have a problem with the mobo or the memory when working together... Is that possible? Maybe I have done something wrong.

The most strange thing about it all is that after the BSOD I reboot and windows offers to repair the problem and once this has run its cause i am able to get into windows and it runs like nothing happens. But this happens every time i start up from a fresh restart. Recently I have been leaving my PC to sleep and that doesn't seem to affect it... Seems silly to be afraid of turning the thing off!

Any advice? Sorry if I sound stupid.. Thank for your help in advance

Not oc the system yet running everything pretty much stock. I have reset the bios and the CMOS. Wasn't quite sure what values to input for the memory frequency, timing and voltage values.

I am running 2x 2gb OCZ platinum 12800 1600mhs sticks.

Running memtest now.. Will then see how prime goes after..
 
So far so good. Ran Memtest for 2 hours and ten ran prime95 for 3 hours. No errors seem to have come up. I will boot up later and see if the problem persists..

Thank you all for your help so far!
