cstaylo0 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I have been having random reboots, BSOD's and memory related issues since I have built my PC. They don't happen all the time, but it is getting to the point where it is very frustrating. I have two sets of CMX4GX3M2A1600C9, giving me a total of 8 GB. If I only put 4GB (one set) into the machine, everything runs like it should. If I put the additional 4 GB into the machine, that is when I start seeing problems. MemTest+ always gives me very skewed results. Today, the first time I ran it, I got errors. After it failed the test, I took each stick out, and tested them individually. They all passed. I even tried them in each slot, all came back perfect. So then I added each stick back in one at a time and ran MemTest, they all passed without error. It only seems to fail when I have been doing something strenuous (like gaming). I really don't know what the problem might be, so I am coming to you! Why does everything screw up when all 8GB are in the machine? And it only fails MemTest sometimes... Voltage, or Timing Issue? Processor issue? Help me out! I am including my BIOS setting to see if that gives any hints. I just turned off XMP to see if that helps my issues, so I will update that later today! Here s the link for my BIOS settings. http://imgur.com/a/DQr0t#tuQXX Thank you very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted June 27, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 27, 2011 Mixing memory is not suggested but I would try and load setup defaults and then enable XMP Profile one and set the memory frequency manually at DDR1333 and test the system with http://www.memtest.org and let me know the results.
