okay, first, please use the html 'url' option so your link works
second, if i read right and the ram came together, they may both be faulty. try it in another machine or other ram in your machine, though i dont know why it would only affect these games :| do you have your page file disabled? that would cause it once your ram is full...
Ok please be patient with me as i am a bit new to all of this.
As Badge said i have been trying to increase ram voltage.
CPU-z stated 1.8V (the motherboard default), in bios i then selected +0.02, cpu-z stayed on 1.8 however easytune stated 2.0V. I then increased to 2.1 using Easytune with no improvement however cpu-z still stated 1.8V. Which of these should i trust as i dont think the bios gives me an exact reading just the option to increase.
Kaeota everyting appears to work fine on pc apart from half the games i play (all first person), and trying memtests.
How do i disable page file.
hehe, i am as bad at english as i seem (considering its my first language, i really suck at it). turning your page file off will cause your PC problems, though, in windows, you do it through 'right click on "my computer" go "properties" -> "Advanced" -> 'performance' "settings" ->"advanced" then "Virtual Memory" 'change' '... though i highly doubt you will have turned it off accidentally...
STILL! please fix your link man, forums decrease the size of what shows, so it does NOT work unless you put 'URL'{insertlinkhere}'/URL' (replace the ' with [ and ] respectively) around the link.
Faulty memory or undervolted memory is the likely cause of your system crashes. Especially if the crash occurs when you run software (games). Set the mem. voltage to 2.0 -2.1v in BIOS.
Enter BIOS. Locate Memory Voltage. Set the voltage to 2.0v. That ahould solve your crashing problem. If you still experience system crashes when running software, increase the voltage to 2.1v. The 1.8v setting your are using in not Mfg. specs and is the likely cause of your problem.
So, you don't know what voltage you increased? Do not use easytune, use your system BIOS. Open you motherboard manula and under 'BIOS settings and configuration' find memory voltage. Set your memory voltage to 2.0-2.1 in BIOS, not Easy Tune. Also go on Corsair's website and find out what the default voltage for your RAM is.
Don't go to 2.4v you can damage your RAM. Try 2.1v, but set the voltage in BIOS, not east tune. Obviously the default of 1.8v is undervolting your RAM according to Mfg. specs. I'm sure this is your problem, or a least one of your system crashing problems.

Your RAM should not freeeze or show errors. It is likely defective. Try using one DIMM and run your game with the one DIMM only. If the system freezes, try the other DIMM as a single. Leave the memory voltage at mfg. specs, 2.1v.
Someone else also mentioned that the games and memtest freezing could be down to the psu.
They said that they thought maybe my psu wasn't powerfull enough.
If yiur system runs until you attempt to run software (games, etc.) but freezes when you attempt to run any software (install software , run games, etc.) your system crash scenario is very likely caused by faulty RAM.
The PSU is a possibility. I have had my system freeze during gm play and a lot of lines and patterns and colors appear on the screen. I thought for sure one of cards i SLI was cooked. Both cards checked out good individually. I swapped out the PSU and it fixed the freeze up proble. So yes, a faulty PSU could certainly be the cause.

Have you updated your BIOS to the latest revision? The only thing you can do at this point is start swapping out hardware. If you have another video card try it. Same with the PSU.
