I'm working on a new system build. I have G.Skill 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 memory (item# F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ) and the ASUS M4A78T-E AM3 motherboard.

Can anyone recommend optimal voltage/timing settings for this memory and motherboard combo?

I'm trying to install Vista and get BSOD every time about halfway through installation. I'm convinced that the problem is related to the memory settings in the BIOS.

Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I finally had some time to work on this again tonight. Updated the mobo BIOS. Verified the memory timings and voltage settings. Everything looked good.

Ran memtest and discovered one of the 2GB modules was bad. Was able to install vista with 1 module without problems. Will RMA back to Newegg tomorrow.

Problem solved!
