    I built my PC back in October last year, and due to an unrelated problem (Sapphire 4870 powerplay messing up) i looked on the packet of my memory and saw 2.3v, chucked that in the BIOS and the computer stopped with its original problem, and had another, intermittent one.

    Fast forward to this week. The computer is restarting mid game for no reason, it is BSODing and crashing alot. I open case, reseat memory and realise it is 2.1v instead of 2.3v. Promptly reseat, clean dust and go into bios to change.

    Could having the memory (1066ghz Dominator 2gb) at 2.3v have damaged them at all? Probably been at that for a 2-3 months. Crashes have stopped and im happy :D

    Wow, 2.3V is a lot! I have mines at 1066 at 2.1 and everything runs fine, I can even go to 1128MHz with 2.1 and it still runs fine.
