Posted October 25, 2015 I just installed a Hyper 212 EVO last night. I had to remove the 2 closest RAM DIMMs so I could put the fan on, but I was able to reinstall them afterwards, and my BIOS was able to detect everything(I have an ASUS Z97-A motherboard). Today I tried to use XMP and just bump my G3258 to 4.4 Ghz. I tried doing the exact same thing with the stock Intel cooler, but it would get too hot for my liking. After rebooting into Windows, I let it sit for a couple minutes so all of my background programs could start up, and as soon as I tried to open AIDA64, I get a BSOD with the error code WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR. So, I went back into the BIOS and set it back to AUTO. I Googled the issue, and people are saying things from "somethings broken" to "it's because you're using 2 different RAM kits(which I am, BTW)" to "it's a driver issue". My computer hasn't blue-screened again, but I still would like to know if I should worry about this or not. I mostly just edit videos on my computer, while playing the occasional game if I have the time. Just for some additional info: My RAM kits are 2x4GB Ripjaws memory(1600Mhz; G3258 only supports 1333Mhz), and 2x2GB of some Corsair memory(1333Mhz). I'm running everything at stock speeds, even my graphics card. My computer was put together last Christmas, and all of my parts were new. If anyone can tell me more about this error, it'd be greatly appreciated. At this point, I'm done with trying to overclock, seeing as I'm hopefully getting a Xeon in the near future.

Posted October 25, 2015 Author Reseat the RAM. OH! You mean re-seat the RAM as in taking it out and putting it back in. I thought you meant to say reset!

Posted October 25, 2015 Author Thanks Old_Chicken and Mast Disaster for the advice. Whenever my computer so much as stutters for a few seconds I nearly have a heart attack, thinking that I broke something.
