I am experiencing a compatibility issue among the Gigabyte Z68MX-UD2H-B3 REV1.0 motherboard and the Patriot PV316G160C9K RAM.
I need plenty of RAM for high resolution renderings, and I wanted to max out the capability of my motherboard installing two of the 2x8GB kits indicated (4x8GB in total).
However, after installing the RAM, the system, running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, has become unstable, with random BSOD and application crashes.
I run MemTest x86+ for around 6 hours, completing the whole test twice and it reported no errors at all.
Doing many experiments, I found out that my system is perfectly stable if I install only one PV316G160C9K kit at time (no matter which one of the two).
Right now I am running the machine with one PV316G160C9K kit installed, plus only one module of the second kit (3x8Gb, 24 Gb in total), and it is perfectly stable.
I have contacted the Patriot support, and their answer was to " try increasing the DRAM voltage to 1.65v. Because you are running the additional kit, it may require extra volts to run."
Since the RAM is sold as a 1.5V, and I would like not to perform such a overvolt if possible..
Does anybody has any idea how can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advace!
