New RAM == BSoD
 
I bought this RAM for my desktop (Mushkin Enhanced Silverline Stiletto 8GB 2X4GB PC3-10666 DDR3-1333 9-9-9-24 Dual Channel Memory Kit - Mushkin Enhanced - 996770) and have been getting BSoD once a day since. Ran memtest, diagnostics, ... and everything comes back A-OK.

Replaced with old RAM and no issues. NCIX does have a forum post about BSoD, yet I cannot figure out the fixes. My Lenovo desktop BIOS doesn't have the options to adjust the RAM parameters (freq, voltage, delay, ...) so I think I'm stuck returning it and getting a different brand.

Anyone else been frustrated like this before? any possible solutions I've missed?

have you tried running memory test one stick at a time? Make sure you do the extended mem test..not the basic.

that usually does the trick to weed out the bad ram..then exchange/RMA accordingly.

I feel you bro...

just went through ram troubles lol.

had to exchange for the same ram brand and everything...
still had to reset bios and change ram settings from auto to the exact ram specs

I don't see how to do that with my Lenovo desktop. The BIOS doesn't have these options, and I cannot find a tool on their site to download that would allow me to adjust these options :(

I traded in the Muskin RAM for some Crucial RAM, yet so far I've had 2 services crash so I'm not holding my breath this will work.
