new build mem problem?
ok so i just put together my new system. its x3 720, asus m4a79xtd evo, 4gb ddr3 1600 g.skill ripjaw windows 7 64
__________________i ran orthos blend and a windows memtest and as soon as it starts i get a bsod. if i run just a cpu stress it fine. is this a mem problem you think? should i try running memtest before i get into windows? all bios settings are default. i have not messed with them besides updating. any ideas? thanks

i got memtest 84 on a bootable disk and ran it. 1000s of errors. could not pass anything realy. i changed the bios to 1.64v the ram is labeld 1.65. i tried 1333 and 1600 and lots of diffrent combonations. still a ton of errors. so i tested them indivudaly and 1 works fine at the correct volts, speed, timing no errors in first 5 test. the other one nothing but errors. is this bad memory then? i still need to try it in diffrent slots on the motherboard i dont know if there will change anything but.
