So apparently the default timings that the motherboard uses cause this ram to screw up and BSoD. After fixing the timings to what the ram reccomends the computer worked fine, and passed Memtest86+ and Prime95 with no problems.
Then after a few days my computer would fail to install programs, and have all corrupt downloads, sure enough I run Memtest and it comes back with errors.
Looked around the internet, it was suggested that I raise the NB and DRAM voltage. Run Memtest86, and its working fine, comp runs smoothe again.
Then after about a week I get the same exact problems as before... and what do you know? ram fails Memtest.
and on and on over and over same pattern. I raise voltage a little, or slow down timings ( I slowed down the timings and lowered the volatage... because you can't raise voltage forever...) a little, changing things as little as possible, and each time the ram works fine for a few days then starts screwing up.
So does anyone know wtf is going on?
