So, i recently built a pc, using the Z97m  and 8 Gb of Avexir Core series 2133MHz Ram.

Is there any known issue with this ram and motherboard combo? I was getting bsods left and right on win 8.1 then changed to win7, only to get a few more bsods after 1 day. The bsod errors are random, including intel drivers, nvidia drivers, kernel etc.

Too much random to me, so i decided to start to test hardware 1 by one, starting with ram. Traded My kit of ram with a friend (8gb Team group Zeus ram) and so far 0 errors. He is using my ram and also has 0 errors so far. To add to this, i did 9 passes of memtest on each avexir ram stick and i got 0 errors.

Is there any known Avexir+msi mobo known problem? If i'm the first, be warned of possible issues if you are going for a similar build.

(bsods hapenned on win 8.1 x64, with both windows update driver and latest brand drivers. Bios was updated to 1.4 and it's not a psu/connection problems. All these were taken in account before starting to troubleshoot)
 
Following up on this topic. After the change of ram, the computer has been running smooth without a sinle problem.

I'm guessing the Avexir ram mentioned and the Z97m amin don't get along yet :(
 
Well most people prefer to use Corsair or Kingston RAM, which is because these are known to work in 99% of computers. I use Corsair myself and never had issues with such, even though my RAM is mixed (bad thing to do..) and is rated as 1600MHz, they run at 2133MHz without any issues. My 2 kits lived through Z87 G45 Gaming and Z97 MPower Max AC (both MSI).

Avexir: seen it few times on online retailer's website but either had no customer feedback on them or had very bad customer feedback (e.g. 1 star out of 5).
