Ok I'm I'm a total noob when it comes to setting ram up manually. I recently built a computer and I'm having trouble with it crashing. Evga's tech support said it was likely to be due to incorrect voltage for the memory. Do these settings look correct for my OCZ ram(pictures attached of cpuZ)? I believe the specs are: 5-4-4-15 @2.1v. It seems like my setup is cool except for the voltage. When I set the voltage to 2.1(bios suggests against it) The computer is very unstable. Any suggestions? Thanks

ok I bought some kingston ram to see if I could get it working. If anything it works worse than the ocz. I have a feeling whatever my computer problem is it has nothing to do with the ram. If i set the ram speed to 1:1 things seem to get better (<-- not totally stable but 1/5 times the computer works). Taking out the video card fixes everything. I wonder if this is a video card problem or motherboard problem?
