So i was having some problems with bluescreens.
I looked around a bit and found this http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X79A-GD45-Plus.html#/?div...
its a list of which ram sticks my motherboard supports.
I didnt find my ram "Crucial DDR3 BallistiX Sport 16GB KIT
16GB kit (8GBx2), Sport,1600MHz, 1.5V, CL9-9-9-24" on it.
could this be the problem to my bluescreens?

Very possibly if those are the low profile sticks. They have somehow talked newegg into wiping away the old reviews for them (I remember at one point they were probably the worst rated product with over 100 ratings in newegg history) now there are only 18 reviews for the single stick and its still 3 eggs...

If that is your kit then I would almost suggest getting rid of them.


EDIT" I now see where you have a 2x8gb kit. I don't know have you tried updating your bios? sometimes that can help with stability, if that doesn't work test each stick individually with a program called memetest and see if either stick finds any errors?
