    Hello peeps,

    First of all I am new to this forum so hello everyone! I have a problem with my RAM configuration. The motherboard I have can support 1066MHz ... I have DDR2 RAM that can run at 1066MHz ... yet the BIOS optimised settings thinks that the system should run at 800MHz. When I force the system to run at 1066MHz I get system crashes, freezing, instability and blue screen of death even before I boot the O/S. Heres a quick run down of my computer spec:

    AMD Phenom 9600 Quad-Core Processor (2.3 GHz)
    GeIL 4GB (4x1GB) 1066MHz Black Dragon DDR2 Dual Channel Kit
    2x HIS ATI Radeon HD 3870 512mb (crossfired)
    MSI K9A2 PLATINUM 790FX (AM2+)
    Windows Vista 32-bit Home Premium

    Can anyone help? Do you think its a problem with the mobo or the RAM chips?

    Thanks,
    Kev.

    You need to find out what stock voltage and timming its suppost to run at when set to 1066 and go into your bios and manualy set it. See if it boots then and runs stable.
