I got my new R3 last week and ordered it with the i5, 4gb ram, 500gb hdd, bluetooth, xi-fi sound, and the bigfoot card. I decided when ordering that I'd replace the ram on my own to save some money. I got 2x4gb sticks of DDR3 1333 Corsair RAM to put in the system. After doing this I started having some bsod issues. They would flash up quick and most of them said it was driver or system based, troubleshooted with a friend and we ended up removing the Alien Respawn software since it was creating errors during loading and solved it for awhile, but now I got a "driver overrun" bsod. Frustrating trying to keep this thing a float with the improved ram. So does anyone know if for some reason the Corsair ram is just bad with the system, the ram is unstable, where I can mess with ram settings in the M11x's bios, if anyone else has had a similar experience, and/or if the ram is bad (or incompatible for some reason) a suggested upgrade to use instead? Thanks for any help.

Its either a ram imcompatibility or a defect ram. Try to remove stick#1 do test , remove stick#2 do test. Maybe one of the ram is Dead on arrival

Ran HD Tune and did several memtest runs, RAM is fine and HD is fine. Apparently it is drivers for the Killer Wireless Card. Is that a known issue with M11x?
New RAM cause BSOD's on R3?
