jRbizzle Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Ok I build my first PC just a couple days ago. everything is stock(No oc) Im new to all this as this is my first build. When I install the both DIMM i get BSOD. WHen i just have 1 installed the system runs just fine. I updated my BIOS to latest driver. When looking at the MOBO QVL(Qualified Vendors List) I could not find the RAM that i purchased. the closes to the one i see on the list is CMX8GX3M4A16000C9(XMP) Is the reason for my ram not working compatibility issues with my MOBO or am i simply not doing something correctly. Any help and suggestion would be gladly appreciated. I can run PC fine with just the 4GB but i payed for 8GB. Im still under the 30 days to be able to exchange it so i would like to get it taken care of ASAP. Thanks in advance :D I just tried running both DIMMs together through Memtest86 and at about 95% of the first test i got a lot of errors(millions). Currently running one at a time right now (test#2 so far so good) , but would still like some suggestion as to what i can do Thank you :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Your memory needs 1.65v whereas only 1.5v is recommended for that CPU's memory controller. Safest bet is to return it for something in the Vengeance series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jRbizzle Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Oh ok. Thank you. Which one would you recommend? I don't see any 2x4GB on the QVL of my MOBO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 9, 2012 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 9, 2012 I am sorry but we do not support MB makers QVL lists, it would be best to look your MB up on our memory configurator and purchase a set of modules listed for the MB you have.
