Recently before I had all these pc crashes & random shut downs my pc was running good, not great but good but ever since I put in the new ram I have been getting atikmdag.sys & usbport.sys errors & the ram seems to run fine, My pc does not run at the rams mhz speed so maybe that's the problem? I looked online for fixes to these errors & its just endless threads talking about different things that do not seem to work :/ I decided to try out my theory to the problem & put in 1 2gb stick of my old ram & so far it has been 30 minutes without any BSOD errors but I have yet to test it out on games & what not but im pretty sure its the ram, usually it shuts down within 15 minutes. It just sucks cuz I spent $150 on this ram & its I think the source of my pc problems. I ran a memtest from amd overdrive & it shows up with no errors. So I have 2 options here, 1. I can return it for a lower mhz that's made for my motherboard or 2. Find a possible fix to the problem (hopefully from you guys).

This is my pc specs - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9jTesHddgU

This is the ram I bought if you need it - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231671

I have tried to run my pc at 2400mhz but in the bios it will not go past 1333 without crashing, I have tried it at 1600, 1800, 1866, 2000, 2133 & 2400 but it just freezes or crashes & my mobo is suppose to support 1866mhz w/o overclocking.

These are the errors from WhoCrashed

No one replied to this but ill post what fixed it for me for anyone who is looking for answers on this. I tested the ram individually using memtest & had no problems, I then tried to put up the mhz in the bios individually which I never even thought of doing & one ram stick got up to 1600mhz without any problems & the other stick would not go past 1333mhz & would crash frequently at 1333mhz, I turned the mhz down to 1066mhz & voltage down to 1.5 since 1066 & 1333 does not need 1.65volts, my pc is working without any problems with both sticks now, im fine with it at 1066mhz & it would be nice to get it up there around 1866mhz but if I return or exchange it im out like $35 for restocking & shipping fees... I heard somewhere that the mhz has somewhat to do with what the cpu can handle so maybe that has something to do with it but I doubt it.
