Memory timing problems

I've just bought another 1gb of ram in 2x512 sticks, to go with my other 1gb in 2x512 sticks. The ram is OCZ platinum ram with 2-2-2-5 timings or somthing. Anyway when I booted my system up I noticed the motherboard had chosen to run the ram at 333Mhz, I decided this to be wrong and went into the bios and clocked it back up to 400Mhz but unfortunatly it causes my system to BSOD. It appears to be stable at 333Mhz but obviously that causes it to run slowly with my cpu having a 400mhz base speed.

Is there any way I can set the ram at 400Mhz and change the timings to make it stable? and is there anyway to test it other than waiting for it to BSOD under normal use.

I have an Athlon 64 X2 4200+ on a Sapphire pure innovation motherboard running Windows XP X64. If anyone understands how to set ram timings up please explain to me how because I have no clue, I perfer to plug it in and it works without much tinkering these days.
 
cant you run the memory on a divider so the HTT is still 200MHz but ram is 333?
you might try setting the CPC to 2T, then maybe 400MHz will work.

I've tried 400Mhz with 2T and that still causes a bsod. As for the first bit i'm sorry I don't understand you there

Hi,

I believe that the system needs to set the memory to the 333MHz divider in order to run four sticks and keep everything stable?

Bah thats

!!! I can't believe that AMD didn't bother to sort that out what a bunch of tards. I feel like going to where their designers work and bitch slapping some sense into them
