memory issues

Hi,

I have 2 x 2GB sticks of OCZ PC2 8000 (Reaper x Series) sticks of RAM, and my computer has been rebooting and blue screening recently. So I decided to do some tests.

I ran Memtest86 and with both sticks in it fails on Address Test: Own Test, after about 10 seconds of running it.

If I have just one of the sticks in it passes the whole test without any errors.

I tried changing the sticks into Dimm 2 + 4 but it crashes again after 10 seconds.

what could be wrong? both sticks appear to be fine independantly.

(ignore my sig, this is a different computer)

thanks,
clocka

It passes with either stick alone but not 2 together?

Are they running at the right voltages etc?

yes they both work alone fine, but when they are both in it crashes. ill try resetting all the values in BIOS again to see if that has any effect
