Hi, I've just put together my first computer, everything went well. I used cpu-z and saw that my Corsair 6400c4 DDR2-800 ram which is supposed to have timings of 4-4-4-12, was set at 5-5-5-18. I went into BIOS and changed it to 4-4-4-12, but then when I restarted, I got the blue screen of death (beginning dump of physical memory etc..) anyone know whats wrong? I kind of new to building computers so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for sharing your fix. Someone else will have the same problem and you just gave them the answer. Other people would have dropped the thread never to be heard from again.
