Hi guys. In need of some serious help as I've been to other forums and weren't good.
Basically, I can run 4GB of Corsair Dominator DDR2 RAM (TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF) fine. However, if I add an additional 4GB, I occasionally get blue screens. If I clear the CMOS and run on Auto, sometimes it boots, sometimes I get bluescreens before Windows loads the desktop. I've manually set the timings to 5-5-5-15 2T, frequency to 1066MHz and voltage to 2.1v (which these modules were tested and certified to run at) and still occasionally get bluescreens. The last thing I tried to do was increase the NB voltage +2. It all seems to work but I still get the occasional bluescreen. I've already tried lowering the frequency down to 800MHz and still get the same result.
The CPU, GPU and NB are all watercooled. The RAM is from the same batch (same serial number and IC version). I've ran Memtest on each module and found no errors or faults.
My current setup is:
Asus Maximus II Formula
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6800
4GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 RAM
MSI NGTX280 OC Hydrogen
OCZ Summit 60GB SSD
Cooler Master Real Power M850 PSU
What am I not doing right? Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
