Clean Install, BSOD's after adding more RAM, Memtest86 shows no errors?

Just finished my clean install, verified system files (sfc /scannow), did all updates, drivers etc, full deal, started playing ETS2 and within 20 minutes BSOD.

I'm going to conclude that it is the new RAM even though I wasn't able to get errors using several tests earlier...

The only difference between this crash is that it produced a big 700mb temp dump file in my Windows directory.

Thoughts?

Added More RAM, BSOD's non stop, Full Memtest+ Passed, no Errors

I'm making a new post because now I have more information.

This is my old post...

http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/756504-Random-freeze-crash-reboot-BSOD/page2

I just ran a full memtest86 and it passed with 0 errors, 48/48 tests, took 6 hours and 15 minutes.

I only had the new RAM modules installed for this test and I also put them in mobo ram slots 2, 4 instead of 1 and 3 because I know 1 and 3 are fine and I also know my old RAM modules are stable even with my OC profile.

The problem I continue to experience even after a clean install with all drivers, updates is that with all 4 RAM modules installed, I BSOD. This has happened during mostly gaming, watching videos etc and none of the bsods have come back with crashes due to ATI/AMD drivers.

I am not currently using OC profiles..but this is the one I would like to use again...

CPU
Turbo Mode Auto
CPU Vcore 1.2v
CPU VRIN LLC Loadline Calibration Extreme
CPU VRIN Ex Override 1.7v
CPU VRING 1.15v
C6/C7 Disabled
C1E Disabled
EIST Disabled
CPU Thermal Monitor Auto
C3 Enabled

Memory
DRAM Voltage 1.5v
Timings 8,8,8,24
System Memory x 16



My RAM is identical, all 4 modules are exactly the same.

G.SKILL Ripjawsx 2X4GB DDR3-1600 CL8-8-8-24, 1.5v

I'm guessing that there are some settings in the motherboard that I have to do in order for the system to be stable with all 4 modules installed?

Thanks in advance

P.S. System is fully stable with OC profile with only 2 RAM modules installed

Here are some BSOD results but the ones I've had since my clean install have been those 700mb memory dump types...

Merged the duplicate threads. :)

I'm guessing that there are some settings in the motherboard that I have to do in order for the system to be stable with all 4 modules installed?
With four modules, you may need to add some voltage to the System Agent/CPU IO with all four populated.

The I would do that first before cache (which is related but not the primary memory controller voltage).

Yep, that too. I was thinking the cache since it acts as the go-between for the controller and cores.
Definitely memory controller first, then cache.
 
We are talking about my system BSOD'ing even with stock non OC settings which I find strange? Shouldn't stock bios/auto settings support more memory without having to pump up voltage etc to the cpu and memory etc?

Sorry for not being more knowledgeable in this but

Memory Controller Voltage = Memory Voltage?
CPU Cache = ?
System Agent/CPU IO = ??

Thanks.
 
Just give it a shot, this is more common than you think.

Will do, please clarify the terminology used in yours and Earthdog's reply.

Memory Controller Voltage = Memory Voltage? (DRAM Voltage?)
CPU Cache = ? (my bios doesn't use this term) (how much voltage increase?)
System Agent/CPU IO = ?? (I think I found this one, what should I set it to?)

I know you suggested a 1.6v to the RAM earlier and that didn't work.
 
This is the post I used to do my OC :D, seems I forgot everything or never paid attention to some of the terms.

Thanks.


That being said....

What would be some good starting values for the different settings and using my current OC profile which I posted above?

System Agent max on air +0.23v (I just set mine to 0.150v)
CPU Ring Voltage (CPU Cache) max on air 1.35v (I just increased mine 1.2v)

I also put a little more on the CPU Vcore, not sure why but re-reading that guide makes me think that 1.2v @ 45x is a bit low. I put it to 1.25v

Do I need to change CPU I/O Analog/Digital as well?

These two settings are what I will focus on before changing timings.

Thoughts?

also on a side note...

HWiNFO readings, not really concerned but this one reading is far above any of my other ones...

IRF IR3563B

VR T1 - 27 degrees celcius
VR T2 - 62 degrees celcius
