Hello

so i got my new Corsair vengeance memory in, it is the 8gb pack low profile (i got 2)

anyways here the problem when i first installed the memory it was not running close to 1600mhz

so i clocked it up and i did necessarily changes, making sure timings were right comand rate, voltage i left at 1.5v

and when i go into windows everything seems fine but after a half our or so of gaming i blue screen, this happens all the time

any idea to what might be causing system instability?

(i tried increasing voltage still didn't work) (i ran memtest86 with 0 errors)

System Spec:

CPU: Amd Phenom ii 1100t w/ Thermaltake Frio OCK (4.0ghz)

Mobo: Asus m4a89gtd pro/usb3

RAM:Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz 16GB LowProfile

PSU: Kingwin Lazer 1000w

GPU: Amd His Turbo 6970
 
Try backing off on your cpu clock/running it at stock and trying again, some setups don't like having all the DIMM slots filled.

If that works then you may have to bump up some voltage settings to try get it stable at 4Ghz but no guarantee that will work either.
 
I had a similar problem with my vengeance ram. I had to push the timings up in order for them to work at 1600Mhz. I think I changed the timings to 9-10-9-27 1T, which made them work perfectly. I used prime95 for 4 hours to test the RAMS stability.
 
Maybe a BIOS update, if any, may work. And then, you can try retesting your RAM and overclock.
