OCZ 2GB DDR3 PC3-10666C7 1333MHz Platinum (4x1GB) Dual Channel DDR3 (OCZ3P13332GK)

My computer has started to lock/Freeze.
I believe it is a memory problem as it only occurs with two of the four sticks.

The problem is if I run MemTest86 on these two sticks they get no errors.
My window Vista is up to date with the patch that reported some problems using more than 2GB.

Is there anything else I can do?

I cannot ask for an RMA if the Memtest show no errors, but I cannot continue using them either.
 
Have you tested each DIMM slot to see if one or two of them are faulty?

Yeh that was my next step.
Two sticks did not mind which socket they went into and two only seemed to work well in the orange sockets.

I have now placed all the memory in the sockets according to what they seem to be happy with and it seems to have worked as the computer is now OK.
In the end my feeling is that the sticks were for whatever reason not connecting properly and after several re-seats the connection is ok.

Fingers crossed.
