RAM dead again..?

406 Views 4 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  kaivorth
This will be my 3rd set of Dominators I'm RMAing due to it dying.
I'm running the stock frequencies of 1066mhz with 2.1v, and it's died a little over a year of purchase. I paid more for these cause I wanted reliability...***?
Any ideas on the cause?

Maybe check the BIOs and see what voltage it runs them at stock. You are saying its running stock, but is it running stock cuz you haven't changed it, or running stock cuz you changed BIOS to stock voltage?

Other thing I was wondering is how is it failing. Failure to pos/boot, or BSOD? Good luck tho

I assume you ran memtest and all?

Did you ever look if your board overvolts your ram much? And it could simply be that you are unlucky. You paid more for something that another brand offers for a cheaper price (same IÇ's).

Windows will randomly crash, showing memory error.

I manually set it for 2.1v
