Hi all,
I am troubleshooting a small issue with my new(ish) system. Specs:
Phenom II 1090t BE
MSI 890fxa-gd65
MSI Twin Frozr III 6950
Corsair 750w PSU
Crucial M4 SSD
16gb G. Skill 1600 memory (the problem)
So. When I first put the system together, I used an 8gb G. Skill set, and didn't have a single error or problem anywhere in my use of the computer. I mainly use it for gaming (Fallout 3, Borderlands, etc.). A month after I got the computer, I saw another set of the same RAM go on sale, so I grabbed it. Once I put the RAM in, I began to get a couple bluescreens here and there, and games crashing to the desktop.
So, I intended to get a replacement set of RAM from G. Skill. Before I did that, a friend mentioned that sometimes AMD mobos/BIOS settings need to be tweaked slightly to work well with 16gb RAM. Do you guys happen to know if this exists, or if I still just need to replace my RAM?
Basically, any tips to get my computer to like my RAM would be nice
Thanks guys!
