Bsod and ram compatibility

[matshah27]

hi, im using MOBO asus crosshair extreme with 1090t (six core) and 2x2 1333mhz kingston ram. im always getting BSOD . is it because my ram is not compatible?

Did you set your ram voltage and timings manually? If not do that and help, if you have a RAM kit that needs 1.6 or 1.65V at stock it wont run stably at the default 1.5V. If they are set right and still causing blue screens run memtest to confirm that its them and then RMA them.

by the way, its a new pc, i cant even install an OS because of that BSOD

depends what the error code is on the bsod.
without that every answer is a guess.

There is no way to be sure however I have experienced a similar issue and indeed it turned out to be the Ram, was using OCZ at the time, swapped to corsair and it was fine.

Did you check your memory speed, timings, and voltages?
