Hello folks, I faced a strange problem last night.
I just set the timings, frequency & voltage of my RAM as per the company-recommended settings at 1333MHz(using memory ratio equal to 5 on my motherboard), 9-9-9-24 @ 1.5V for the particular model.
The thing is I tested the settings in memtest86+ for over an hour without errors (one complete pass).
However, when I booted into the OS, and started doing some web browsing, the system rebooted. This happened twice.
I am still using the same settings, and nothing has happened yet.
My questions:
1. Could this possibly be a software issue ?
2. What could have led to the reboots ?
3. I have been running the system now for over two hours now, and nothing has happened yet. Should I be worried still ?
