Ram speed issues

So lately.. I have been tinkering around my computer to figure out what is causing BSOD. And i have finally caught it. The ram speed. You see when i set the memory frequency to DDR3-1600Mhz it causes BSOD. However when i let my motherboard do you with OC Tuner it sets it at a lower speed yet works absolutely fine, The speed with OC tuner is roughly 1131 mhz or something around 11XX Mhz. My question is why is my ram causing these issues ? I have purchased a ram stick that runs at 1600 mhz yet my computer doesnt want to accept it or something. Also i have tried using XMP for the ram however that causes the computer to crash as well.

So can anyone help me ? Figure out how i can set my ram at 1600mhz without the computer crashing constantly ?
 
Solution
DRAM CAS# Latency - 10
DRAM RAS# TO CAS# DELAY - 10
DRAM RAS# PRE TIME - 10
DRAM RAS# ACT TIME - 27

It was right, just from top to bottom :) Leave everything else on auto and you should have 'command rate' somewhere too which should be on 2T.

I looked up the ram timings. On the website and found these


Extreme Performance PC3-128000 (1600MHz)
Timings: 10-10-10-27
Voltage: 1.5V

Ok am kinda new to this so do i place the timing numbers from the top to the fourth box ? Like the first box says DRAM Cas# Latency then go down until i hit the fourth one which is DRAM RAS# ACT TIME ? And leave everything else on auto ? Correct ? Also do i set the memory frequency back to 1600 Mhz ?

Alright i still need help as i dont know the acronyms for those. So am just going to list what is on the screen right now in order.

DRAM CAS# Latency

DRAM RAS# TO CAS# DELAY

DRAM RAS# PRE TIME

DRAM RAS# ACT TIME

DRAM READ TO PRE TIME

DRAM RAS# TO RAS# DELAY

DRAM CAS# WRITE LATENCY

DRAM WRITE RECOVERY TIME

DRAM REF CYCLE TIME

DRAM Row CYCLE TIME

DRAM READ TO WRITE DELAY

DRAM WRITE TO READ DELAY

DRAM WRITE TO READ Delay(DD)

DRAM WRITE TO WRITE TIMING

DRAM READ TO READ TIMING

Ok i'll test out the computer now and see if its working. If not i'll post again.

Also does it matter if the command rate is DT2 or DT1 ?

Thank you Anti-duck had my computer on all day didnt blue screen once and is running at 1600mhz. Thanks again. May fortune come to you in the future.
