Solve my computer problem and I'll send you the price mentioned above. I posted earlier but the tread died so I'm sorry for spamming but we gonna redo the tread!

My computer freezes and/or reboots itself. It happends usually after 1h but sometimes quicker or slower. It's unbelivably frustrating. The parts are listed below

Cpu:i7-3930k-16gb corsair vengeance ram, Asus rampage 4 extreme motherboard lga 2011, gpu: gtx 680 dc2, psu: 850 watts corsair modular thx, ssd 120gb force gt and a 3TB seagate hdd.

XMP is set to 9-9-9-24 1.5v, bios is the latest, did firmware for ssd, reinstalled windows and everything else. I tried having the ram down to 1333Mhz instead of 1600. Tried "known-good" ram did not work. Temperatures on cpu and gpu are in the low 30s and everything is watercooled. The only "odd" thing about the hardware seems to be that my mobo does not read any ram (tried 3 different) from the b2 dimslot (first red one on the right side of the cpu socket).

Additionally if I were to be forced to change mobo would I need a new cpu aswell or is it safe to reseat a cpu?

Hi mate,, The ram your using is the problem, many people have had trouble using the corsair vengeance ram with the 2011 clip set.. please try different ram.. just not the vengeance series of ram and you should be right to go..

Would I go wrong with these? I have a 1 year period for full refund if i wanted to change my ram

First off, instead of blaming the Memory for the restarts you should first start finding out why Windows has a Problem. The first step is to turn off the Automatic Restart. Look in Control Panel/System/Advanced System Settings(on the left). Then Click the Advanced Tab at Top and click on Settings Button under Startup and Recovery...Refer to Pic Below for what to uncheck.

After you do this you will get a BSOD screen next time it goes to restart and from the Info listed there you can ether let us know here or look it up yourself and see what the problem is. For this kinda information Google is your Friend because even the Best Techs on the Planet can't keep all of that Debugging Info in their heads but who knows somebodies that's come across that same Error might be here.

Also in my humble opinion, you can keep the prize because for me it's just helping somebody that's the most important not what I get out of it.
