Recently got new ram+mobo but been reciving countless bluescreens for no reason, i tried everything and seem nothing was working so decided to give memtest a spin and this is what happened:

This is the RAM in using btw : OCZ3BE1600C8LV4GKl

Memtest:

Im not quite sure what this means but iv taken out one stick and am running memtest on the other, already reciving errors and been going for 7 mins, will do other stick once this one completes. Do these errors point to screwed dimms?, if so i shall return to pkay for a replacement since itsonly a week old.

Thanks guys.

It is a possibility, but it could also mean that your cpu doesn't like the memory, check the recommended memory list in your manual.

Well there 'AMD Black Editions' & apparently are for good for black edition cpu's so i didnt think this would be a problem.. il check it out.

Yeah the Amd black edition ram thing is a gimmick. I would for sure return the ram.

I thought as much but doesnt the fact that their good sticks still stand? Issitt just that their faulty or are they for some reason not happy with my setup?

OCZ has good ram, there just isn't really anything better about their AMD black edition ram and regular ram. You probably just have faulty ram, that's why it's great ram companies offer lifetme warranties, so you can ship them out get the new ones and everything is fine.

You can run this simple test and find out in about 15 minutes.

I think RMAing your rams would be your best bet.
Even one stick may be ok, its better to get the same exact same rev on all of them; different ICs, etc.
