I recently added new RAM to my computer, and I've been experiencing errors. My specs as of now are: Intel core i5 3570K
Powercolor Radeon HD7770
12GB of RAM (2x4 1600, and 1x4 1333)
700W PSU.
Using Avast free antivirus
If any other specs are needed I can say them. I have read some other solutions to this problem, but none seem to help. I don't experience the error immediately either, my computer freezes after starting a game like Dota 2. All of my drivers are up to date, and the only one that has updated just before the problems started is Java.
 
Solution
(2x4 1600, and 1x4 1333--- this would be my guess... pull the stick of 1333 install the 2 sticks of 1600 in there proper slots shown in your boards manual and try that --- mixing mismatched memory is just not good --- I will assume that the 2 1600 sticks are the same matched sticks of the same brand ?

(I just bought G.Skill Ripjaws X, the 2x4G) Just removed the 1333 stick, had a feeling that was the problem. I can't really test to see if this is a solution, so if I do not have the problem again in a week, I'll mark this off as solved.
