Hi Everyone,
I just bought a new rig with contains OCZ Platinium DDR3.
From the first time I have booted my new system it has been giving me BSOD's, these bsod's change allot but I have managed to pin the problem down to something to do with memory.
(The bsod's ranged from irq_not_equal_blablabla to memory_management)
Anyways after a little research I have found that OCZ platinium DDR3 should be ran at 1,9 volt.
After tinkering a bit in the BIOS (I got gigabyte p55m-ud2 motherboard) I found the place where I can change the voltage to the ram.
Default setting was 1,5 volt so this could be indeed what was causing the problem, however if I choose the option 1,9 volt it (The option in the bios) begins blinking in red and a big warning pops up:
"Warning: CPU and memory modules may be damaged or reduced life cycle when overvoltage"
Now I have never tinkered with memory voltage before so I wanted to doublecheck if I am doing the right thing before I blow things up
So here is the question: Should I change the voltage to 1,9volt even though it warns me not to?
Any reply would be greatly appreciated.
