Tightening the timings on an already unstable setup will make things worse. Alternately you can try small voltage bumps in conjunction with using the factory spec'd timings and speed for your RAM to see if that improves stability.

Originally posted by astrob0y View PostOkay I have the Gigabyta 890GPA-UD3H with AMD Phenom II 965 BE having the same issues with stability, games and browsers crashing intermittently. Stock settings for my Ripjaws are DDR3-1333Mhz @ 9-9-9-24, if I tighten the timing and raise the voltage it should be more stable? I just ran Memtest86+ 4.10 and when I ran it with 4gb (2x2) it gave me about 800 errors, so I decided to run 1 stick at a time to see if one of them were bad but both sticks passed the Memtest separately.. I'm going to have to test out the new settings and then run the memtest again... Been troubleshooting my computer for the past few days.

Basically, what I'm saying is that you need to try and establish a baseline of stability with all of your components at whatever specifications the mfg. states, and then go from there.MSI Big Bang xPower x58

If you run Memtest at 9-9-9-24 and you have errors, then attempting to tighten those timings to 8-8-8-24 isn't going to do anything but create more problems.

Thing is, I don't know exactly how to establish a baseline of stability with all my components. As I said, I am quite new to this, I am unsure what I should do next concretely

Hey LS,
It's really simple. Go to the RMA Services section of the forums here and select the country/region you're located in (it's located on the main page of the forum)
Request an RMA, fill out the RMA request and submit to G.Skill. They will issue an RMA, you return your current RAM and they will send out a replacement kit.
Pretty painless except for the downtime.MSI Big Bang xPower x58
