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 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.
