Im new to this website so sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum.

I upgraded my mobo, RAM, and CPU at the beginning of the year and have since been getting random BSODs. The most recent was about 10mins ago. It usually happens a couple times a week, but its been happening more often recently.

On the top of the blue screen it will either say SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (or something like that) or IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I tried to open it up on Blue Screen View but for some reason it says that I haven't had any crashes.

I ran memtest a while back for 5 or 6 passes and it came back with 2 errors. Also, while setting all my new components, I have to set my SATA config to IDE instead of AHCI because it would BSOD on windows logo if I didn't. I don't know if that matters or not but yeah.

Specs from speccy:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1

check that your motherboard has the newest bios patches to rule out that you having ram issues.
M5A97 LE R2.0 BIOS 2301
Improve system stability.
in the bios turn on xmp profile if that mb bios has it.
run cpu-z look at the memory tab and the spd info make sure the ram is set right.
check that the ram is locked in. if the ram fails again use one dimm at a time till it passes then replace the failing ram.

I actually haven't reinstalled windows yet. I will do that tomorrow because I have to find my backup drive and then I'll report back.

I have checked the ram speed and that looks fine. What would the xmp profile be under?
