    Anyone had any issues running their RAM at 2400 MHz? I've been getting some Faulty Hardware Corrupted Page BSODs on my 17 R3 and the ten-forums advisors have moved on to it could be my RAM running at 2400 MHz instead of 2166 MHz. They also said it can also be caused by the Turbo Boost, but I am more inclined to think it's the RAM since it's aftermarket Kingston RAM.

    Before you ask...it went thru 9 passes of Memtest with 0 errors.
