Hi every one, as the title says is this ok to do?
The reason i ask is because I have had constant blue screens for the past 5 or so months and narrowed the problem down to my ram.
I was planning on buying a new stick but thought i would try altering the settings in the bios to make it more stable in the mean time, after a few hours of tinkering i tried lowered the voltage from 1.5 to 1.35 and now my system seems to be completely stable and i haven't had a crash since.
I assume this is ok to do and is not going to cause more damage than good?
Also another question if someone could help me understand this.
At first i thought my gpu was the culprit so i bought a new one, this made the bsod's a lot less frequent as my first gpu was a bit dodgy, but they still happened.
But when i run my graphics from the apu instead of the graphics card, the crashes happen once i a blue moon, but since the on board graphics use the systems RAM as VRAM i would have thought the crashes would have been more frequent rather than less, because the RAM will be in use more, but the opposite is true.
The only logical explanation i can think of is that my RAM was overheating, because the airflow in my case is really bad, and without a dedicated card the temperature drops.
And that's why when i lower the voltage of my RAM my system is stable, would i be right in assuming this? I'm curious because with a quick google search every one says that RAM very very rarely over heats, but maybe i just got unlucky and my RAM is just less tolerant to heat?
