Okay, so lately I noticed I'd been getting memory related BSOD's on my Win 8.1 64 machine, so I decided to run Memtest on it. I seem to be getting errors on all sticks, in all slots.
I have two sets of G.Skill Ripjaws-X 16GB Kit (8Gx2) DDR3-2133 F3-2133C9D-16GXH which I had been running at 1.65v
Problem is however, is memtest will not complete. It just randomly crashes. Last time it got to 5:21, with 56571 errors and just froze up. The state had stopped moving, and nothing happened for the rest of the night (this was left for about 8 hours) with the clock stuck at 5:21.
My question is, is it likely that I have fried all 4 of my RAM sticks by overclocking them, or is it more likely the MOBO?
This is a rundown of my PC specs, but the ram is now running much slower, as I changed the MOBO to reset default values for the RAM. Obviously it's not very accurate.
