How did you test the memory?

Is this your RAM?: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145218

Have you made any BIOS changes? Reset your BIOS by going in and choosing Load Optimized Defaults. Save and exit, your machine will reboot. Re-enter BIOS and set the memory timings by hand to 9-9-9-24 and set the DRAM V to 1.6V. If you made other changes, such as setting the SATA mode to AHCI or changing HPET Mode to 64-bit you can set those back as well.

Sometimes to run with 4 sticks of memory you have to give it a little more juice. Make one change at a time: try changing DRAM V to 1.64V. If that's not stable, try changing QPI/Vtt to 1.17V. Finally, on the "Advanced Memory Settings" change Performance Enhance from Turbo to Standard.

It is not the Ram. The Ram is Corsair XMS3 DHX 4x2GB PC3-10666 1333MHz 240-pin DDR3 CL9 kit-TW3X4G1333C9DHX.
I had set the DRAM V to 1.6v before, but it still bsod. I have set SATA to AHCi, and HPET to 64-bit mode. I have had it on Optimized Defaults.
I will try the new settings.
Thanks for the help.

I used Memtest +. I tested each stick alone, and all at once. Also I used the Win 7 memory tester for all of them at once.

The Memory is rated for 1.5 V is it safe to go to 1.64?

It looks like this is a link to your RAM: CORSAIR XMS3 DHX 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Model TW3X4G1333C9DHX

Where do you see it rated at 1.5V? The details tab on the above link shows it as 1.6V. It is safe to move it to 1.64V.

It is printed on the memory sticks.

I got them from amazon. In the reviews I saw someone else got the 1.6volt instead of the 1.5volt memory.
