To be honest if your computer is running ok I really wouldn't worry. So your memory isn't running at an exact number of Mhz as long as it isn't causing any problems why mess. In the long run I think it would be a good idea to do a BIOS update to F12 as we said but it doesn't have to be now. I have just been chatting with absic and we came up with a couple of questions anyway. One is do you have the USB pendrive inserted straight inot a motherboard port not via a hub of some description. Second is what size is your USB stick?

Yes, i inserted the USB striaght into the motherboard  port. But i'll try 3-4 more USB ports.
The size of the stick is 8 GB. When i updated last time my BIOS,it was another 8 GB USB stick.
So, for now, you think i can leave it 1333 MHz ?

Changed back to 1066 MHz. About 10 minutes ago i got BSoD.
I never got before BSoD on this PC.

So what speed are you running at now. The BSOD can happen on any machine and is not in itself a big deal.

As i said, now is back to 1066 MHz.
I'm not sure 100 % because of the BSoD, but 99,99 % is from the 1333 MHz.

 ;D
Here is a printscreen, with CPU-Z, memory tab.

PS : when i modified to 1333 MHz, i didn't change any latence or voltage frequency.
Should i ?

I opened the PC case, and i checked the RAM, to see what is writen on it
So, i have this :
Corsair TR 3X3G 1333 C9
1.50 V ver8.1
9-9-9-24
1333 MHz
Now, my question : can i set to 1333 MHz, right ? If "YES" do i have to change the voltage and latence from the BIOS ?
Again, if "YES" , please explain me how.
Thanks in advance.

Enter the BIOS/MIT/DRAM Timing Selectable/change from Auto to Manual. Then you can have access to the settings manually. Enter your memory timings as you posted earlier off the side of the module.  Save and exit(F10). ;)

I did that about 7-8 days ago and i got BSoD.
What about  the voltage,in BIOS ??
Do i have to change them, too ?

The latency I wouldn't advise you to touch but the voltage should be set to what was on the side of the module (1.5v)It is possible to increase this figure a little but it shouldn't really be necessary if you are not overclocking or running large amounts of ram.

It is already 1.5V in BIOS.
If i increase now from 1066 MHz to 1333 MHz, i think it's gonna happent ( BSoD ) like last time.
You think it's okay if i increase JUST A BIT ,the voltage ? ;D

Yes, it would be safe to tweak it just a little. Small amounts only. Bit of trial and error.

Just whack it up to 1.65V check the timings are 9-9-9-24 (you might have to set the Command Rate (CR) to 2T) and don't overclock the CPU.

I said small amounts :o Not great jumps. 1.65v is the top as Peter has posted.
