    Bioshock crashes when I change my mem divider from 1:1 to 2:3!

    Hey guys,
    Bit abstract. Bioshock seems to crash to desktop when I have my memory at a 2:3 divider, rather than 1:1. I have the correct voltages set and my temps are fine. It happens within 2 mins of loading a game, and as soon as I set it back to 1:1 it doesn't happen. How bizarre...

    Anywho, any suggestions on what could be causing this would be appreciated.

    Thanks
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Well they say nothing stress tests your memory more than a game, tried it with any other games?

    If you have it try Unreal Tournament 99. I've no idea why but if I have a bad overclock that thing crashes in no time!!!

    Oobie, are you sure the RAM is getting the right voltage? check the website and see what they should be running at. If you're pushing higher FSB through it ( what it should run at ) then it will need the extra voltage if it isn't getting it.

    Try 2T and see if that cures it.

    why dont u leave it to 1:1 then? does it make your pc slower if its 1:1?
