Hello. I have a question. Befare that im sorry for my bad English. I have a asus p5q3 motherboard and it worked fine till I upgrade rams from corsair xms3 2x2gb 1333 cl9 1.5volt to xms3 2x4gb 1600 cl9 1.65volt and I completely changed them with new series.
They work fine for near 1 year till one day when I powered on my pc and I faced blue screen ..after some days search I find out that I have 2 problems
One of the problems came from one of my new rams that became faulty ( I test them separatly with memtest )…and other one is from my graphic card…after I pick out faulty ram and buy new graphic card my pc is worked fine till today.


So my question is…
I decided to increase my ram again to 8G..and I should buy one xms3 4gb 1600 cl9 1.65volt for dual working with my old one…but im afraid to I will face blue screen again and my hardware damaged.. cause I still don’t know yet the main reason of my hardware damaged is my motherboard or voltage drops?

What is best offer for upgrade of my rams ?
Two of this kit : XMS3 4GB 1600MHz CL11 DDR3 (CMX4GX3M1A1600C11
One of my similar ram : 1x4GB DDR3 1600MHz C9 (CMX4GX3M1A1600C9

Man, one advice: don't mix different sets of ram, even if they are identical. Sometimes if you buy a stick of RAM and put it together with another equal stick of RAM (identical or not) that you bought separately it won't work. Buy the RAM in sets paired. (Like you did, a 2x4Gb set, for example). That's my advice.
