I´m new in this community and also new building a rig.
I wanted to play games and also overclock my system, but I have some issues with my ram.
First of all these are my system specs:
CPU: I7 3770k
Cooler: H100
Mobo: Maximus V Extreme
Ram: G.Skill Trident x 16GB 2400mhz (quad channel)
GPU: GTX 670 DCii
PSU: CM 1200w gold
So I installed the new drivers available for sound and gpu, updated bios with bios tool and installed bf3.
I began to play it and everything was fine, but suddenly after 5 -20 minutes it just crashed in video, sound still running and showed my desktop, but I was still in the game. The only way to get normal was opening task manager and close the process. I read about it and maybe was realtek drivers issue, I disabled the sound in bios, the same issue. Maybe stock overclock in the card, I underclocked it with gpu tweatk to normal mhz, nothing. So I read that maybe was faulty ram or something, the weird thing is that only in bf3 the system crash to desktop, BSOD or Directx error.
So I tried removing all the ram and test stick by stick, I tried all the sticks in different setups in dual channel but didnt worked, but works great with just 1 stick installed. I test every stick at time and no error with it. So my question is:
Is that a ram voltage issue or timmings are bad? As I said, this is my first rig. I just noticed that the model of the ram isnt in the QLV of MVE page (model F3-2400C10Q-16GTX) but the mobo was in the QVL of the RAM

I tried running XMP profile #1 in the bios and set ram to 2400mhz at 1.65, also tried 1600mhz at 1.55v and 1.60v but the same problem with dual or quad channel.
Here´s the capture of directx error, also event viewer error code and paths that explain in the error and BSOD capture.
event viewer error code 1001 Windows Error Reporting

Hope someone can help me.
edit: also I forgot to mention that I will run memtest tonight and I´ll edit if there are errors.

I just changed the ram value to 1600mhz after same problem with bf3, also set xmp again in clean bios (bios 2) and same problem. Also forgot to mention that the same problem happen in ultra, medium or low settings, but run great in ultra with just 1 stick. Also rigth now memtest is in 77% and no error, I'll update later when it ends if there are error
In xmp values, right now says pass complete, no errors, but still running, is in test #6 and pass 5 errors 0, 10:30 hours elapsed time. When can I stop it? or should I run it in stock settings?
well I just ended it after 6th test, 12 hours and no errors found in XMP profile

I'm a little confused. Both the RAM and the board is designated "dual channel". What is the quad channel thing you're mentioning?

Try a clean driver install, might be driver related.
I will try it tomorrow with a new OS install also, just waiting a SSD to arrive.

Well I mean with quad channel 4 sticks of 4GB each one, sorry if isnt the way to say it, I´m new in these things.
Also I ran memtest again with default settings for 6 hours and no errors again, so I´ll try doing a clean install of everything again.
