790x RAM BSOD issue

[kirax105strike]

Okay so I just purchased an asus 790x mobo with 2 2gb Gskill RIPJAWs. I read that with this mobo you have to manually set the RAM speed to 1600. Everytime I do it seems to blue screen. If i set it back to auto it boots just fine. Any known resolutions to this issue?

Q - Is your RAM on that list?

The above is my best guessing based upon limited info you provided.

What's {asus 790x} 790X is the AMD Northbridge chipset.

Change BIOS: {per F3-12800CL9Q-8GBRL}
AI Overclocker Tuner {Auto} ; Manual may b required to access the following settings.
DRAM Frequency {Auto} -> DDR3-1600
DRAM Voltage {Auto} -> 1.5v
DRAM Command Rate {Auto} ; manually enter 9-9-9-24-2T

Save & Exit {Yes}

Thank you, that seemed to do the trick. I was talking with one of my friends and he had the same issue with the board until he manually set the voltage to 1.5v. Thank you
