I didn't realize that the CPU I ordered (Intel Core i7-3770S) only supported 1333/1600MHz memory. I am currently using 2133, but it's only running at 1600. I have also had a few blue screens, and before a BIOs update my computer had to cycle 5 times before it could boot. Now I can do things relatively fine. Again I had a few blue screens but that might have been because of not enough memory. Also I heard from an Intel customer support agent that my processor only supports memory using 1.5 volts. I was thinking of maybe just springing for new memory running at 1600 MHz and 1.5 volts. Will my problems continue if I don't? What do you guys think?

Alright so I've overclocked it to run at the memory standard, we'll see how this ends up! The two blue screen errors I got were damaged memory and something about getting a page with no page there. I was playing high end games when both happened, do you guys think that's anything to be concerned about?
