Few things you can do:
- Try setting all memory timings to the slowest setting possible in the BIOS (or just leave them at AUTO if you don't know what you're doing
)
- Since you have 2 memory modules, try them 1 by 1 (aka remove 1 - MAKE SURE YOUR PC IS DISCONNECTED FROM ANY POWER SOURCE WHEN YOU REMOVER THE MODULES). Try to game with 1 module, and then switch them. Try to see if if maybe one module is causing the problems...
- Overvolt the modules, like you said. Overvolting can't really damage your modules, because most memory can take 2.5volt easy. The only problem is HEAT. Make sure you keep them below 70~80 degrees Celcius. If the modules have metal heat spreaders on them, then this shouldn't be a real problem.
Also, check in your BIOS if the memory voltage is STABLE and doesn't go up and town too much (more then +10% variation).
Also, is your pc connected to a GROUNDED plug connection in the wall? Random static can also create memory errors...
