Newly built system giving me problems

[tonydm85]

My specs: Asus P8Z68-V LX, Intel 2600K stock settings, Corsair XMS 2x4GB DDR3-1333 memory, Western Digital Black 1tb 6gbs, DVD-RW drive, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and Corsair 500watt Builders edition. I'm using the integrated graphics 3000.
I updated to the latest bios on motherboard and latest windows 7 updates.

I already replaced the hard drive. Before it was a Hitachi it was making a buzzing noise. I thought it would fix the issue, but it looks to be something else.

The problem is once in while I'll get a blue screen and shutdowns intermittently if I have 1 or 2 stick of ram installed. It displays kernel-power (41) Task 63 in the event viewer. Could it be the power supply, motherboard or ram?

I just want to here what your ideas are what it could be. I bought the system at micro center. I sure i get my parts replaced.

Here are the errors i get from event viewer:

How about you try Overclocking it? It probably have voltage irregular to some parts, probably overclocking should help lol...

Check the RAM timing and voltage . Make sure its running at its rated speed .
Check that its 1.5 volt memory

At this point overclocking is not likely to help

OC could help because your setting these thing or setting manually instead of auto...

setting them manually to the recommended settings does exactly that too , but avoids potentially compounding the problem .

Overclocking is better because you get to set more setting manually like the QPI/DRAM voltage instead of the DRAM voltage itself...

Thanks for the responses. I will change the ram settings and see if still has issues.

So this is a memory fault. The computer boots up fine but after being on for 15 mins it shuts down immediatley.

I don't know how to manuelly set the ram. The bios automaticallly put the memory to 1333mhz. I'll try it again tonight.

Thank you for the advice . After 12 hours my computer hasn't blue screened after by configuring the memory myself. I couldn't believe the auto tuning would make your computer crash like that.

Actually, when i changed the timing it still blue screened. I replaced the ram with different brand. I exchanged it with 2x4gb 8g Kingston 1600 mhz. My computer is now working perfectly.

your previous RAM was faulty, guess that it needed a replacement lol...
