Attack of BSOD - New Build

I'll make it my goal over the next week or two to learn what I can so that I can take full advantage of the RAM's capabilities. Until then I'll run at SPD settings (i.e. change back 1.5v). I appreciate your advice.

OK, that's what I thought you meant. It's weird that the standard voltage is 1.5v, but modules and OCZ's site say 1.65v. But it definitely seemed to be the timings, so I'll try setting back to 1.5v. Thanks again for all the help.

And what exactly do you mean by this? Since updating the timings it has been running great. So that may have been the ticket. Thanks to all who helped. It is much appreciated.

Okay. So I've updated BIOS, and ran cpuz. My timings were off -- [7, 7, 7, 16] instead of [7, 8, 8, 26] -- so I changed. Also, the voltage was low (1.5v instead of 1.65), so I changed that in BIOS setup as well. Also changed freq from 866mhz to 1600mhz. Unfortunately -- if I am gathering what...

Gotcha. I sorta figured, but let it go anyway. Thanks for the info.

Will do. Any chance that using the wrong settings has fried the memory? That would be a bummer.

I guess it's time for a quick lesson if you have the time. I'm not really sure what SPD is. If the question is whether or not I've played with the timings, then no. How exactly do I check to see if SPD is running? Sorry I'm nub. Also, now that I think about it, I remember that this...

Yeah, I guess it must be. The mem test was still running when I got home from work, and it went until I stopped it about an hour ago. It had something 18000 errors when I cancelled it. Should I assume it's the memory and replace it? Any chance it's something else? I guess I'll try updating BIOS...

No, but that's on my list of to-do's before I go replacing any hardware. I'll try that tonight. Thanks.

I'll think it's set to SPD, but I'll confirm. Thanks for your help guys.

I ran it last night. It was still running when I went to bed, but last I looked there were several errors, after just the first test. This is my first time running it (I've had good luck with RAM so far), but I'd say it's looking like the memory is the culprit. Will I get some kind of report...

Attack of BSOD - New Build

Hi all, I just built a new semi-gaming rig (specs below), and have been getting a bunch of random errors/crashes since getting it all up and running. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. At first I figured my hard-drive was crapping out because it was getting quite a few "corrupt installation" type...

Hard Drive: Dead or Alive?

Computer started freezing about a month ago, restarting itself, etc. After a while, it got to the point where it wouldn't even boot up. Then after several attempts Windows loaded saying that one of my disks need to be checked for consistency, after which Windows booted on my old backup HD that I...

Mobo/PSU/HDD - Not sure, need help

Actually, what is happening is that for some reason when I do get into Windows, it is on my backup HD, which BIOS or Windows has for whatever reason reassigned as my C: drive (it used to be F:). But this has only happened once so far... Usually it gets to the Windows load screen and freezes...

Mobo/PSU/HDD - Not sure, need help

Computer randomly blued out yesterday (can't remember error message) and restarted itself a couple times, until finally it would not boot up. Now it gets to Windows, runs some disk check, and enters Windows on my backup drive F:, which is an old HDD that I had left connected. Also, USB is killed...
