That is not likely the cause of your problem. What are the specs (list of all components, make/model) for your system? Are you overclocking anything (CPU, GPU, memory)? What are you idle and loaded operating temperatures? What version of Windows are you using? Are all drivers and Windows fully up to date? Do all games/apps have issues, or just some?

Try setting your memory to 1333 and see if the system stabilizes.

Unless you operate in a very dusty environment and had cleanliness issues before installing your gpu, the contacts should be fine.

Could be the power supply.

I've been seeing on a lot of fourms that the CX series from Corsair is a bad one.

This is also a possibility and would be the next component to check out.

Any update on stability after lowering the memory speed to 1333 (suggested due to using mixed memory)?
