Ok , so i noticed a few inconsistencies in my pc when normal running, CRC errors crashing during CPU intensive tasks, failing to install games etc.
I ran MEMTEST and ending up with god knows how many errors, but i read somewhere that i could solve it buy increasing RAM voltage.
Is it safe?
Is this a realistic fix?
Heres a pic of my PC specs (attached)

thanks

You increase the voltage in the BIOS, your motherboard's manual will tell you exact how. If your RAM is still relatively new, it may be better to RMA it if you are getting errors from it.
 
RMA is where you return the hardware to the vendor or manufacturer.

Increasing the voltage is a minor risk so long as you don't over do it. I don't know how far ASint lets you overvolt before voiding your warranty, I've seen some DDR3 kits requiring 1.9v but that seems a little extreme, +0.2 should be fairly safe.
 
I've read that no matter what cooling you have on the RAM, 1.9v+ will cause permanent damage over time. So I'd say 1.8v is the save limit. As Cromewell said, if it's faulty or not working properly at its rated specs, return it and get a replacement.
