Built a new system recently the specs are;
MOBO = Asus P5P43TD/USB3 with most up to date BIOS installed.
CPU = Intel Core 2 Quad 2.5 Ghz
PSU = Rosewill 850W continuous with 4 12V rails.
GPU = GeForce 460gtx(EVGA) with 1gig ddr5
RAM= Gskill F3-10666CL9D-8GBSR 4gigx2
OS = WIN764xPRO
system seemed stable then started getting intermittent BSOD's after doing some homework and running tests on the GPU and CPU I determined it must be a ram error. So I ran Memtest86+ and in dual channel mode got 2000 errors on test 5. I then decided to check each stick one at a time and ran the test 12 hours per stick. No errors on either stick when in single channel. the PSU is pushing the correct voltage through the system. I checked the BIOS and it has this RAM setting at the specs published here with correct timings and voltage of 9-9-9-24 and 1.5v. I have seen some people suggest upping the voltage but 1.6 still gave me errors and I didn't feel comfortable changing the voltage any more than that. I posted all of this on the new egg forum and someone said go to GSKILL and see if they recommended an alternate timing or voltage so thats what I am here for. Thank you in advance for your time.
