  • m3a785gm: 2 sticks DDR3 =ram errors; 1 stick=everything OK??

    I have build a PC with this board M3a785GM-LE, 1 amd athlon triple core, and 2 corsair 2gb 1333 ddr3 sticks. No additional PCI cards, no extra VGA card.
    Due to random BSOD and after several W7 reinstalls, memtest 4.10 says:
    - When one stick is installed (doensn't matter which of the two is), no RAM errors, single channel. W7 running OK.
    - Both sticks installed (swapped positions sevral times), double channel = random RAM errors. W7 BSOD.
    Fans working OK and temperature always under 40C.
    I have change the cool'n quiet bios setting, updated to latest BIOS (1.20), disabled ACPI and so on, without results.
    PLease please help!!!
    thx

    Did you try increasing the DDR voltage manualy in BIOS? Try increasing the DDR voltage to 1.7v. (1.5v+0.2v=1.7v)
