Guys, Maybe technically the wrong section, but I suspect more people looking in here may be able to help me !
A system I am building for a friend is misbehaving.

system is:

MSI 770 C45 mobo
X2 240 cpu
Geil Value DDR3 1333 ram
Asus 5770

Everything running stock.

Initially I suspected a problem with graphics card due to driver stopped working message when trying to run 3d apps, but I tried the graphics card in my pc and it worked fine.

Ran a few loops of memtest with the memory at rated speeds, and all was well.

So fresh instal of win7 64 and no graphics drivers installed , I started on prime testing and it would error within a minute.

Tried manually setting voltages on cpu and ram to spec with no change.

I have just dropped the ram to 400 and it is priming away well so far.
Given that the ram passed memtest 4.00 @ its rated 667, I dont understand why !
Could the cpu's mem controller be faulty ?
 
Ok, seems Geil isnt happy with that system, swapped it out for some Gskill I have ready for another build, and all seems to be working ok so far ...
