generally to get the memory running in duak channel mode you need to put them in slots 2 and 4 (sometimes 1 and 3 or 1 and 2). Again I'm not totally familiar with your mobo, but the manual will detail it to you.

Don't try and O.C your ram any more until we are sure your current settings run sc2 stable. At best, overclocking your ram will give u 3 fps more. If you're just gonna be gaming stability is the key here. Let's aim for that first.

its how long the ram takes to get ready to use by the mem controler and cpu, if its to fast ur cpu might not be ready for the info. start at a high timing 9-9-9-24 and then try 8-8-8-24 until ur system crash's then go back to the last setting, is waht i do anyway

No problem man, glad to be of assistance. Be sure to post once you've tried it out a bit! Then we can try to o.c. your ram the right way if you really want to.

Excellent, looks like our work is done here.

As for OCing your RAM to 1600 speeds, I wouldn't really bother. RAM OCing on its own doesn't really provide tangible benefits. If you want tangible benefits, I'd go back to OCing your CPU, assuming the RAM troubles are over with :p

With RAM, the lower the number, the tighter the timing (and hence more aggressive). These are latencies after all - higher number means it's slower, lower number means it's faster.
With no power comes no responsibility?

For ram timings, the lower the number the 'faster' it is. What is going on is when you set a lower timing is the ram is waiting less clocks to execute an instruction than it would otherwise do at a higher timing.

Is sc2 not crashing now?

I'd be glad to assist anyone o.c.ing although I'm no 1-stop-shop I can certainly try. Just shoot me a pm.

Also, to clarify what I meant by 'the right way' was to do it manually and methodically. Not letting something auto do it to the point of instability.

Are you still running the RAM voltage at 1.5? If so, try turning it up to about 1.6V. A lot of RAM (particularly if it's good quality dual-channel) is much more stable at a slightly higher voltage.

For the timings you're probably best off looking up the recommended defaults for your RAM and using them. While you're doing that, see whether you can find the recommended voltage for your RAM as well. Some manufacturers will suggest a higher voltage than the default provided by your MB.

3 suggestions come to mind based on those I have helped with similar issues (including the 0xc..5).

First: Windows Updates, including custom.
Many times microsoft will surprise us and fix problems they have previously stated as being not their responsibility to fix. This leads to developers to hotfix the issue which can then have adverse effects when on the whim of Bill they decide to instead fix said issue. It is an obnoxious dance you may be stuck in the middle of. After this I would still make sure nothing funky is going on with windows. I instinctually blame windows, so I would also check sfc (system file checker) if you think there is any chance there could be something funky from windows.


Second: Hard Drive, current state.
Start by checking the SMART, (for those unfamiliar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_S.M.A.R.T._tools ) your model of HDD seems to have a higher than normal return rate. If that is looking solid, I would run chkdsk.

Third: Computer Management (Manage from right click my computer)
Watch event viewer listing and performance when things are going amiss. These can give you clues as to related issues.

Yeah seems really odd that it would pass memtest and prime but fail at starcraft, I may be wrong but I think the latest patch has something to do with it. Seems a lot of people with flaky memory/settings are having problems.

Good to hear it's gone without a crash so far. Keep updating!

Edit: How often do you guys get threads where people are trying to give advice after the problem is already (potentially) solved?
