I recently built a new computer and the computer seems to crash a lot. I do not know what is causing the crashes. Here are the components I have installed in my build:

I almost missed that one... lol...

reinstall board and chipset drivers, same with your video card. You could try a bios flash...but that can be a bit screwy some times. When is it crashing? Might need to reinstall your OS.

So here is the rub:

Just wondering what latency are you running your rams at? Are you running at stock speed and voltage for the ram?

you are right those are not the same sticks. you have 2 diff kinda of ram.

From what i can see from the CPU-z ss its the Memory like above they dont match.. And when you have a system that has different memory speeds it tends to bottleneck the data flow and it can cause it to crash. Also if you want to use Triple Channel DDR only put 3 matching memory modules in there.

Ive used Patriot before and had absolutely no problems.. even ran it with a higher voltage to OC and they were solid.. But those were DDR's Not DDR3 so maybe it is the Ram.. I like to stick to Corsair personaly. Also try placeing regular 1066/1333 to see if it makes a difference.

First off pull your memory and only put in a matched set. Then go in to your bios and manually set your FSB, Voltages, and mem settings as per manufacture spec's. Set for both the memory and cpu. Allot of mother boards do not auto detect these things correctly.
