Constant BSOD after RAM Upgrade

[Jetrise]

Hello All,

I've upgraded my RAM today from Corsair Vengeance DDR3 2133MHz (2x4GB) to Corsair Vengeance DDR3 2400MHz (2x8GB). It's only the two 8GB sticks in the board at the moment.

After around 15 minutes after starting the system up, I will generally get a BSOD saying, "System Service Exception". Does anyone have any idea why my system would be doing this?

As the only thing I've changed is my RAM, I assume RAM is the culprit of this?

Full system specs?
Can you post screenshot from CPU-Z memory and SPD sections?

Check ram voltage in BIOS. Should be at 1.65V (don't go any higher than this).
Since 2400mhz is overclocking, it may be necessary to adjust ram parameters manually.
You can try reducing ram frequency (to 2133mhz) or increasing ram timings.

So, I forcefully reduced Voltage and Frequency by adding my 2 x 4GB sticks in. My system has stayed stable for around an hour and a half now.

However, just a final question, if you look on the link below, you'll notice my RAM is supported... well, kind of;

Supported RAM: CMY16GX3M2A2400C10
My RAM: CMY16GX3M2A2400C11R

Only difference is the latency, same Voltage... so why would my PC constantly crash?

OC modes usually require some additional tinkering. It's to be expected.
If everything works and is stable at 2133mhz, then I'd call it a win.

Thanks for the help. Do you know of any good sources which could help me with said tinkering?
