Hello,
First off I'm a beginner and this is the first computer I've ever built. Before My knowledge basically consisted of installing hard drives and CD drives. I've had this computer up and running for about a day or two. Within the first 30 minutes of initial boot it blue screened. I had no idea why. This kept on happening every once and awhile that first day until I noticed on the blue screen something something not being equal or less. I used my Google powers and read it could be the RAM.So I downloaded Memtest and it was reporting errors almost from the start. Concerned I went to Newegg which is where i bought it from to read some reviews. The very first review I read had a Manufactures Response which had some BIOS settings. This was very helpful I went into to BIOS and noticed that my voltage was low and my Command Rate, once I was able to find it was set to 0? Anyway Switched everything to TEL 5, TRCD 5, TRP 5, TRAS 14 Command Rate 2 and Voltage 2.1. The System is more stable now. No blue screens, but Memtest still reports errors. Last night I played the Just Cause 2 demo thinking that if something was wrong it would crash. I played for about an hour and nothing happened. So I'm completely confused and stumped on this one. I don't know if the memory is bad or if BIOS is all screwed up . Thanks for all the help on this in advance
