I have a Intel Core 2 Quad based system with the G41 chipset on a Asus P5G41T-M LE motherboard. I recently bought this ram:

It's spec is 1.65V while my old ram was 1.5V. The memory is called "Low-Voltage" and is the same DDR3 1333 as my old RAM, but my old ram ran at 1.5V and it was not called "Low-Voltage". Anyhow, my system ran fine the first day, but today firefox froze up on me and another application crashed (this never happens to me). I went into BIOS and default is set at 1.5V. Do I need to bump it up to 1.65V? Seems like the answer would be yes, but I don't want to break anything so I thought I'd ask the question just to be safe...memory is optimized for i3, i5, i7, but I thought all DDR3 was the same...do the new Intel products require higher voltage memory?
