Ram

[lukas]

Right, ive got something that i want to know, when i first built my PC i kept on getting BSOD's, but then when i overclocked my CPU, it stopped, i was wondering since the RAM gets overclocked at the same time would the overclock on the RAM be the thing that fixed it or?

hmm, i doubt that overclocking the ram fixes a BSOD, but you never know i get this weird random as heck blue screen only when my pc is at stock settings, i have never had a blue screen when it is overclocked to my daily settings.

same here, its weird, i should also add my RAMs faulty too ;p, so an OC could fix a BSOD imo, should also add my ram was 667 at stock, now its 800mhz.

Run memtest at stock and oc'd and let us know what happens.

ive already done that, both failed , ill be sending them back when i get my new OCZ, should be next week sometime since they was out of stock.

Yeah i would RMA them, but first try moving them threw out your dimm slots, see if that is the problem. Try each stick by themselfs also. Try this at stock and oced and run memtest each time.

Just out of curiosity, what kind are they? Platinums, Golds, Reapers?
