my ram is: patriot g2
2x8gb
DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
9-9-9-24
1.6V

my mother board is: biostar tz77xe3
Support 4-DIMM DDR3-2600(OC)/2400(OC)/2133(OC)/1866(OC)/1600/1333 up to 32G maximum capacity

it reads my ram as 1333, i did a manual configuration in the bios to 1600 and set the voltage to 1.6

iv been over clocking my cpu and randomly get a BSOD occasionally, idk what i should do. should i set my ram and voltage back to auto in my bios?, or should i configure my bios difrently?, or is it okay how i set it ?
idk weather my bsod is coming from my ram or cpu it happens about once a day so its hard to single it out.
thanks nick

I would try manually setting the timings to the manufacturer recommended, if you haven't yet. To figure out about bsod just only overclock one component at a time a stress test to see where your problem is.
