i looked under the advanced tab and there was nothing to do with RAM voltages =S

I'm sorry under the advance tab then "norhtbridge chipset config" then " memory config" is should be listed as
"DDR Refearance Voltage" and is most likely set to Auto, change to 2.6, don't forget to save when you exit bios.

memtest

Is the ram still hot?

Try running memtest, test one stick at a time, leave it run 3 hours for each stick unless it shows lots of errors then stop it.
Could you list the error message when it blue screen's

[sandman01086]

sorry it's taken me ages to reply, i've had a busy time over christmas and such

i've run the memory test and it said that it found no errors, I no longer get blue screens but my computer just freezes now and i get the occasional error message from Xfire

what kind of GFX card do you have? because if your crashing ingame, then it might mean that your card is overheating.

[sandman01086]

GeForce 8600GTS I haven't overclocked it or anything and it has the standard cooler that ships with it

[Rocknrollcows]

if you have a thermometer, try getting the temp reading of the card right after a crash. and if its high, then you've got a cooling problem.

do you have good circulation?

sorry to mess you guys around with longb times between posts but i have been really busy recently

i can't find a thermometer anywhere to measure temp

in most of my case there is good circulation, but at the bottom under my gfx card there is a big tangle of wires which i haven't got round to sorting yet, this is just below my gfx card but i did make sure that it didn't obstruct the fan in any way

would it be worth tying all of them back and freeing up more space?
