Default OCZ AM2 Edition Phenom compatible?
I have picked up a 4GB set of OCZ AM2 Edition for use with my Phenom platform. When I swapped in the modules I started BSOD'ing. I swapped back in my G. Skill DDR2-1000 set and the errors went away.

I'm contacting OCZ, but I figured I'd start a topic anyway.

I'll keep you updated.

Sounds like a compatibility error, or possibly defective memory. Try clearing your cmos, and then updating to the latest revision. Maybe they have new support or something.

With near 5000 posts, im surprised I have to suggest this, but knowing your motherboard etc may help us so if you dont mind to fill in your system information, it could give us some insight.
