Maybe try to to completely uninstall everything having to do with your graphics drivers, and reinstall once again. Sometimes things get left behind that doesn't need to be left behind.. I'm really lost on what else to do with this specific situation.. I don't really see what Afterburner would be doing to your RAM. Hope someone else has a little better info for you.

Just to confirm Ram vs Afterburner, have you tried removing the new Ram going back to the original Ram you had installed?

ValueRAM DDR3-1333 (CL9?) is generic memory. The ICs on your new set may not be the same as on your old (generic = you really don't have to set any IC binning standards and there is a risk of receiving low end ICs). Your new 2x2GB kit may not be capable of maintaining the same settings as your original, which seems plausible given that you have a bus clock OC.

Why not try underclocking the RAM as a test? Just make sure the timings aren't automatically adjusted for the lower frequency.

This is a great idea. If the ram isn't capable of running that the higher speeds that your old ram was, then the easiest way to determine if that truely is the problem is to remove it from the equation. Just lower the memory divider and see if the problem persists.

Good luck smile.gif.
