I am trying to install Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 1866MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM - Black (HX318C10FBK2/16) into a P8Z77-V PRO and it threw up an Overclocking Error on post.
This is likely due to the board needing OC to run at that frequency correctly which I did not know at first but know now.
Well actually the first few times it simply refused to post, but eventually worked and told me to fix the OC in BIOS. By that I thought it meant reset old settings [it was previously just unlocked] back to auto, which allowed me to boot into Windows and see that yes it was running at 1866MHz, but it was still throwing up OC errors on reboot.
So I went back in and changed another setting to Auto, which led to Windows 10 straight up crashing [three times] with different errors
Anyways. How do I install this RAM? Do I flash? Never done it before and it frightens me. I don't have the best of luck.

EDIT: Plugged them back in, set the memory to 1600ghz and it seems to be working. What was strange however, is when I had the GSkill in and looked in the BIOS the XMP stuff was there, detecting the GSkill sticks and letting me change freq. With the HyperX installed XMP is not there but I can still set the freq. Seems stable? Would flashing help?
What's the next step here? Should I even care? Memtest86?

- Undetermined, system error
- Memory Management
- Device..something. [Where do I find crash logs that are on a different drive?]
