New ram makes comp completely unstable

[Tengis]

Ive had to format FOUR TIMES since I installed my Kingston HyperX pc4000. My computer is completely unstable and randomly bluescreens. What gives? I cant overclock at all with it (could get to 425fsb stable with my Kingston HyperX pc3200) even though I was expecting to reach the same limits. After two minutes from anything above 400fsb prime fails. I suspect my PSU, I had a post the other day about how its my PSUs fault, but I cant really point to anything.

PSU = 400w Powmax won at a Lanparty... =/

I hate my computer...

Specs in my sig.


By the way, Ive had to format due to different Windows files being corrupted... err....

www.memtest86.com <- boots off a cd or floppy, no windows required.

The memory sounds like a dud. RMA it.

RMA takes so damn long... Ill mail them or something and see whats up. =/.

PowMax is a shitty PSU maker also, dunno if that could be your prob but if youve got another one you could try it out

Then its most likely your pws. Voltage fluctuations reep havoc on memory.

Run memtest on that RAM... see what happens.

Let it run overnight or something.
