hey,

I just put together a new machine and I have had absolutely no luck getting this thing stable.

P6T Deluxe V2
i7 920
Patriot 6GB DD3-12800

I've installed Windows 7, all running stock. All settings in bios are set to AUTO/DEFAULT.

Whenever I try and do something in Windows, I get a plain (Not BSOD) blue screen. No text, just a blue screen and I have to hard-reset.

When I set the memory speed to "DDR3-12800" in the bios, I managed to last a little longer - but not much.

Any ideas?
 
First time with DDR3, what should I set the memory voltage to?

Currently it's at 1.20000v
 
Your ram is significantly undervolted. Im supprised windows even installed.

Make sure all your voltages are right. Auto/Default is never the answer.
 
Also, set the RAM speed to DDR3-1066 or DDR3-1333 for now, until you get it stable. Also, set the RAM timings manually if simply setting the voltage and speed don't help.

BTW, there is no "DDR3-12800," its DDR3-1600 PC3-12800. ;)
