Hi,
I recently upgraded my RAM from 8GB to 16GB, making sure to buy the same model and frequency etc.

However, when I check the RAM in CPU-Z, one of the slots shows a slight variation in timings, I will attach images

This is what the 3 slots show.

This is what the 1 slot shows.

The timings are different, and the 'JEDEC' #s that are displayed are also different.

Since upgrading the memory, I've had a few BSODs. Is this causing it, and if so, how can it be fixed?

Many thanks
 
Could be you need a Bios update and try upping the ram voltage to get rid of the BSOD.

What make of memory are you running have a look at OcUK online advert for your memory timings and voltage range if bought from them.

Ram Voltage could be 1.50v to 1.650v.

Example -

Try clearing the CMOS SEE MANUAL and see what happens, my x58 in tri channel 3x4GB use'S this ram 9-9-9-22-1t at 1.50v no problems.

If it persists try using two sticks if you can at a time you might have a faulty one.
