Hi guys,

Just wondering if any of you can give me an insight into my current problem:

I recently bought some faster RAM to go with my current system which is in my sig. Hoping to hit 4Ghz on my e8200.

Well I've tried getting up there and the temps are completely fine but I'm getting different blue screens each time, running 8500 HyperX RAM and using the megahalems, the temps have not been a problem at all. Just wondering why my PC is crashing even on the slightest of vcore increments? Been running 3.2Ghz for a long while on 1.2025v with no problems, and now running 3.4Ghz on the same voltage with no problems.

However as soon as I increase the voltage after trying a higher FSB it crashes, the weird thing is even when I have increased the voltage and load up CPU-z it reads back a voltage of 1.200?

The possible reasons I've come up with so far are:

The motherboard is somehow not recognising the faster speed on the RAM and still thinks it's 800 rather than 1066, although I've never heard of anything like that, maybe a BIOS update would help?

Maybe I'm on the power limit of my PSU and anything above is causing it to crash. Using OCZ SilentXtreme 600w.

I think It's only stable now as I'm running 3.4Ghz on stock, I really don't know though! Any help would be appreciated, cheers :)
 
You may have to manually set the new memory at 1066mhz speeds in ur bios, most mobo's will see them as 800mhz unless they are true low voltage 1066 ones.

Another not is that you may have to increse ur north bridge volts when upping your fsb.
