New Ram Causes Random BSODs

[OpposingFarce]

Hi, I recently upgraded my Ram from 3x4GB to 2x8GB. Everything seemed to be working fine until I started getting some rather irregularly-timed BSODs. These would occur randomly throughout the day. Sometimes I will go 6-hours without a BSOD, sometimes 2. I understand the timings are different and apparently my new ram is dual-channel kit. But I've been told that it shouldn't matter. Any help would be appreciated!

Old Ram (CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9B) - 3x4GB

- DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
- Timing 9-9-9-24
- Cas Latency 9
- Voltage 1.5V

New Ram (CML16GX3M2A1600C10R) -2x8GB

- DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
- Timing 10-10-10-27
- Cas Latency 10
- Voltage 1.5V
- Dual Channel Kit

run memtest and see if it finds any errors

Run a memtest to test for RAM errors, download the USB auto installer and plug a USB in, follow the instructions and restart the PC, enter the PC bios and force boot from the USB, this will run memtest and check for errors.

Did you set up the new ram in bios? The timings are different. Did you install the two sticks into two of the same colored slots like they should be for dual channel?

Might be a bad stick, but without knowing the CPU, am guessing it's the MC (memory controller) and 16GB, might first just try the DRAM voltage at 1.56

I was about to do a memtest, but I decided to check timing as spooky2th suggested. I think it might be it, because the timing says somethint ot the effect of 9-9-9-24 as opposed to the new timing of 10-10-10-27 which my new ram is suppose to have.

My DRAM Timing Page seems to be configured liked this:

Primary Timing

DRAM CAS# Latency CHA: 9 Auto
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay CHA: 9 Auto
DRAM RAS# PRE Time CHA: 9 Auto
DRAM RAS# ACT Time CHA: 24 Auto
DRAM COMMAND Mode CHA: 2 Auto

There's secondary timings but I don't know if it's relevant.

Should I proceed with changing the numbers to 10-10-10-27 and leave command mode to 2?
Would resetting my motherboard to default settings resolve the issue as well?

Try resetting the timings manually or simply enable XMP and it should set them correctly

 

[spooky2th]

Setting 10-10-10-27, should work. What MB do you have? You might be able to set XMP and the timings will be set automatically, like Tradesman1 said. If there is a XMP option in BIOS, that would be the best route.
