Computer crashing( blue screen) with new ram

[jasher11]

so recently i upgraded the ram in my system from a 2x2 of crucial ballistix sport ddr3 1600mhz latency 9. to a set of patriot viper 2x4gb ddr3 1600mhz latency 9 and now my computer is crashing i have the Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 Motherboard and an AMD fx-6300 as my CPU and suggestions to stop me getting this blue screen

Hey,

It could be that you got a bad stick (or set) of RAM, try booting with one stick at a time, and try running memtest86 to test for memory issues.

Also what are your RAM settings in the BIOS? Make sure all the RAM speeds and timings are set correctly within the BIOS.

Hope this helps!

it has identified both ram sticks in slot 3 and 4? (should i move them to 1+2) and has all the right info i am using RAMMon (is that the right program) it hasnt said any issues it says both ram sticks are the right amount of memory + speed

If it is being detected thats a good start, however I suggest you download memtest86, burn it to a disk and then thoroughly test your RAM. Even if it is being detected it could still be faulty. Also make sure you are running the ram with the proper timings, and voltage. Which exact kit of RAM are you using? Is it rated at 1.5v or 1.65v?

there is link to new ram
its 1.5v

Try with 1 stick in slot 2, get into BIOS and raise the DRAM voltage + 0.05, save shut down, put the other stick in slot 4 and give it a try, also let us know what CPU

ram in slot 1 and 4 made no difference still crashed as did upping voltage to 1.55v my cpu is amd fx - 6300

 

[jasher11]

i have moved the ram to slot 1 +2 and added the old ram to slot 3+4 so i now have 12gb no crashes have occured and if none happen within the next 12hours i will be very happy, assume my computer is fixed and choose a best answer

Keep us updated, sounds like you've about got it,

its working thank you both so much for all the suggestions.


as i posted this it crashed -.- so still getting blue screened just less often maybe?

I would suggest you run memtest on each stick to determine if one of them is bad, or give it another small bump in voltage.

 

[Tradesman1]

Raise CPU/NB voltage to 1.2
