I checked my RAM packaging and it does not match any on the list provided by ASRock. Do you think that is the issue? What do you mean by RAM timing?

Also found this after putting in my PC part picker build: Kingston Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Ivy Bridge CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.

I did some research on this and got this: "The memory is downclocked by the processor in order to be able to work with it; this means that the memory is working using a not correct voltage for it or simply it started to fail for the same reason."

Gamed and browsed around 7 hours yesterday, and only had 1 freeze. =/ Can I rule out the motherboard and assume that its my RAM and it's voltage issue?
