RAM causing crash on striker II extreme

Computer Forum CPU, Motherboards and Memory

Hey guys, just got a new rig built, but for some reason whenever i play games on it, it will crash within a minute of playing, this actually goes for any 3d application, like running lightsmark 2008 or any other game for that matter. but the thing is i have run it down to the RAM because, when it has 6GB of memory it seems the crash, when i take it down to 4GB it still crashes, but when i take it down to 2GB it is absolutly fine. i don’t understand. oh and all my settings are stock, no overlclocking or anything and also my bios has been updated to the latest version 1104.

I really need help because, the memory i brought wasn’t cheap and i really don’t want to have to run only on 2GB when i could be having 6GB running.

Any help guys will be really apprieciated.

thanks.

update to this thread. it actually has now crashed with 2GB of RAM. :frowning: i swapped it over to another 2GB of ddr3 ram i have on another computer and it runs fine. it is clocked at 1333mhz instead of 1600mhz which makes me wonder.
