Hi,
I have a major issue with my PC. Its not strictly why I'm here, but I think my RAM is broken or damaged and am seeking to replace it. If you're interested and feel you may be able to help, please see:
http://www.tenforums.com/installatio...s-bad-ram.html
Anyway, I am looking to purchase some new RAM and have settled on G Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 2133Mhz.
Firstly, is this RAM ok for my motherboard? I think so, but its worth me checking with you guys.
Also, I understand that I will need to enable XMP in the BIOS.
I recently did this actually and am convinced it is what broke my computer - I have Corsair RAM clocked at 1800mhz, but noticed it was running at 1333, so enabled XMP. I very quickly experienced BSOD and so turned it off again. Things just got worse from there and now I'm unable to even install a clear version of Windows 10! Error 0x8007025D. So maybe it wasn't turning on XMP which affected my computer this way, but researching things for my new RAM... well, this page as also scared me: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/ram-spe...ing-xmp-watch/
I'd really appreciate some advice from someone who knows my motherboard and can advise on what I need to do to safely use my new RAM, when it arrives.
Many thanks
Matt
