I keep getting BSoD messages with different reasons for crashing and I don't know how to fix it. I think it's related to the memory so I replaced two 2gb memory sticks with a 4gb memory stick, but it's still crashing.

My motherboards stock memory voltage is set at 1.8v and the memory is 2.0V - 2.1V.

I thought the BIOS was automatically adjusting to accomodate a higher rated memory voltage? How do I raise the voltage in the BIOS, I've never tried this?

My setup:
- Vista Ultimate 32bit Service Pack 1
- Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-965P-DQ6 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813128323)
- Memory: G.SKILL 4GB DDR2 1000 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820231145)

Any help would be awesome!

Try setting RAM in the BIOS to factory rated settings... IE 1000mhz and 2.0-2.1v and CAS 5 timings.

Use memtest86+ for memory testing afterwards
