Good day,
Originally, I have 2 sticks of 2GB DDR3 RAM (I believe they are 1333mhz) on my computer. Recently I have added 2 sticks of 4GB DDR3 RAM(I believe they are 1333mhz) to my computer, making a total of 12GB available for use.
However, my system starts to freeze randomly on me(screen is not refreshing, mouse/keyboard not active, but I can still hear the hard disks and fans running inside and the LED that indicates the PC is on is lit up as normal). It has freezed when I:
-Only have chrome open(even with 2 tabs)
-Doing heavy after effects/light MS office work
-Staying at the desktop doing nothing, with no applications launched
As you can see its just random.
Some more basic specs:
Mobo: Gigabyte X58A-UD3R rev2
CPU: i7 950(No overclock)
OS: Win7 Home Premium x64 SP1, installed all important updates months ago before I add new ram sticks. By the way, no new drivers/software is installed after adding new ram.
I heard that it should be something about SPD or voltage problem? Could someone please throw me some pointers how can I do sort that out? For your information, my power supply is 600V.
May I also ask you to click here to take a look at a few CPU-Z and BIOS screens that I think might give a clue to the problem? Additional specs information is available there too.
Your help is very much appreciated
