My ram says 1.5v my bios set it to 1.65v

i have had terrible trouble with my computer crashing and blue screening,
im sure it is my ram cause the memory warning light keeps coming on and a lot of the time it wont boot,
i got in working in the end by taking out 1 strip and with 1,
im not sure if it is defective or just more sensetive to the increased voltage than the other strip, as the one i took out will not work on its own ive tried both,
thanks for reading

Without more info, all I can advise is to go into the bios and try some manual settings. You can also run memtest, a free download, if you can get one stick running stable.

i managed to change the voltage in my bios at i think i might have done the trick,
the memory warning light still comes on though when my computer starts then it goes off again, do you know if this is normal thankyou

hi again i ran memtest and the memory is fine at 1.5v, not sure why my bios set it to 1.65v,

ive been getting high memory usage warnings though from nortan,
i went into resource manager and out of 4gb i only have 500mb free,
1026mb is hardware reserved and i have no idea what it is reserved for,
or how to change it, please help
