Yes, Clifford's questions are great.

In addition, please download and run CPU-Z. Make a screenshot of the SPD and Memory tabs. You can type snippingtool then hit enter in the start menu to get the program to make screenshots.

Then attach the 2 .jpgs to the post using the paperclip above where you type.

Thanks for the questions and suggestions Clifford.

Firstly, yes I am running my ram settings on auto. When it's auto, it detects it at 1333 instead of the 1600 it should be. The moment I log in, and go and run prime95 blend it freezes. So, I uppsed the volated to 1.65,1.68, and 1.7 on the auto, it still froze every time. So, I manually set my RAM to 1600, froze on all of those as well.

I decided to underclock my ram just for the heck of it. Tried 800, loaded and ran prime95 last night while having a couple programs open and like 10 browser windows and installing starcraft2 just for the heck of it, didn't freeze - this was on auto voltage.

So that worked, I went to 1000, or whatever the next level up was, and it froze right away again. So, last night I just went back to 800 and ran prime95 overnight... after 8.5hrs it hadn't frozen yet at all.

I also had tried settings D.O.C.P. and it detects as 1600, but it froze as well.

I'll do that CPU-Z tonight when I get home.

Narrowed it down..
Ram shows at 1333, should be 1600. I checked my mobo, this ram is on the QVL. Determined it's due to my processor, no biggy.

I run memtest86 got zero errors after 14 hrs. Ran prime95, it freezes right away when at 1333mhz. Changed to 1600 and reran, froze right away again. I underclocked my ram to 800mhz and it ran prime95 for 9 hrs without freezing.

So, my question is - how do I configure the ram properly so it will work?

I also tried D.O.C.P. option #1 which auto sets it to 1600, voltage 1.65 and timing to 9-9-9-24-2T... but it still froze in prime95 if it even loads windows.. which it won't half the time.

Anyways, if anyone knows how I have to configure my bios to make it so I can happily use my computer without it freezing every time with my ram @ 1600mhz I'd love you long time.
