Hey People,

I have a Crosshair V with some Transcend aXeram 2000mhz (2x4gb) which runs perfectly at a high frequency on prime95 and other programs but as soon as I play a game or something graphics accelerated it crashes! Bluescreen with the ATI drives, it is a MSI R6970 Lightning and it works fine with the ram clock around 1800mhz but not at full speed....

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,

James Corbett

Loosen some of the memory sub-timings and also increase CPU/NB and HTT voltage. If that does not help, then you may need to run the memory at a lower speed.

Hmm, I turned on "CPU Level Up" and set it to phenom II 3.6G which I assume just changes some voltages amoung other things and it now seems very happy... quite odd... I'm just trying to crash it now.

Thanks for your fast reply I will start fiddling with that if this doesn't work.

Something else I noticed was that my CPU fan can now run around 2000rpm higher than it could previously... is that normal?
