Recently I occasionally had the infamous windows "cannot read from memory, debug or cancel" errors and constantly lock ups during Tomb Raider Anniversary. Ran memtest and a lot of errors were found. How accurate is Memtest? Quite a few people have reported having failed it even the memory is brandnew. Should I RMA my memory, Corsair XMS2 6400 C4 2GB Dual Channel?
 
I think I have found out what caused the problem. For some reason the DRAM setting in BIOS was DDR835 where it was supposed to be 668 because my FSB is 334 @ 3Ghz , 2.0v. I played TRA for about 2h yesterday and ran memtest again for over 1h no problem. Mobo is P5W DH, E6600.
Cheers for the replies guys.
