I'm experiencing black screen crashes under some gaming scenarios that only occur when using BOTH sticks (in either set of memory slots) with 2x4 GB Corsair Vengeance Blue 1600Mhz PC312800 DDR3 RAM. (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B)
I've tried to reproduce the problem using 1 stick at a time and I get no crashes. I've tried with 1 stick at a time PLUS another RAM stick from a friend and no black screen crashes, either. I've run memtest86 overnight on the sticks together as well as 4 passes on each one at a time and no errors. However, once I put both sticks back in I get the same black screen crashes.
Have monitored temps and all are normal.
My system specifications are in the following link:

Any advice or ideas at this point would be helpful.
Thanks.
I've replaced my RAM and the problem is still around. I've made sure my video and audio drivers are latest up to date and updated my Mobo bios to latest version and still have the issue. So it's either the graphics card, mobo, or PSU.
I was monitoring power supply and m "VIN4" (whatever that is) seems to have really high variance. Is that concerning?
