    Good evening, first of all my Ram failed on me today after finishing the memtest86. However, symptoms of the failure were most prevalent this week, since buzzing sounds through the speakers and BSODS happened no matter what I attempted. Last week the same RAM passes all the memtests with no problems, but the speakers still buzzed occasionally. I live in Canada and bought the RAM from NCIX through special order. How can I RMA them? Do I mail through the States or Taiwan ?

    *One more thing, is the RAM I am using compatible with:G.SKILL F3-10666CL7D-4GBRH Ripjaws PC3-10666 4GB 2X2GB DDR3-1333 CL7-7-7-21 Core i5 1.5V Memory Kit and/or
    G.SKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL Ripjaws PC3-12800 4GB 2X2GB DDR3-1600 CL9-9-9-24 Core i5 1.5V Memory Kit

    Thank you

    Buzzing sounds in the speakers may be indicitive of a driver problem, a short or PSU problem...might want to make sure mobo is installed tightly and all mounting screws/holes are snug, check for updated drivers and if possible try system w/ another or borrowed PSU

      RE: Ram Failure

      After running some tests, and managing to get my system running(via backup hard drive) I discovered one of the sticks of RAM has failed, therefore giving me only 2gb of RAM. How do I start the RMA process from here in Canada? Thanks
