I can count myself to the unlucky ones, who got an G750JW with 16GB and experienced BSODs. Before I found out that I had 2x4GB RAM for 1.5V, I used my ASUS, which was running for ~72h and experienced ~20 BSODs. I ran heavy benchmarks and memtest86+ for 10 hours. After I removed now the wrong RAM the BSODs disappeared.
Now I fear that it had a great negative impact on the lifetime of critical parts like CPU IMC. What do you think - Should I insist to replace the laptop or is it enough if I replace only the wrong RAM?

Thanks for your reply.
Actually I wonder if it's really possible to cause any damage with 1.5V. G750 uses HM87 as chipset and Intel says that it is compatible to normal DDR3 up to 1600MHz:

Is there really a risk to damage CPU IMC as stated in the first post?

Hi,
I replaced now my DDR3 by DDR3L RAM, 4x4GB. But I still experienced BSODs. Far less then with DDR3 but still 3 times in the last 4 days.
How can I verify if the RAM is the problem or if my hardware got damaged? Last time I used memtest86+ when I had DDR3 RAM, but it didn't find any problems. Will a new Windows 7 installation make a difference?
