Hey OcUK, I need some help.

After finding my PC BSOD'ing or Modern Warfare 2 crashing after a while of gameplay I thought I'd try to find the cause of it all. I memtested one stick of my OCZ Gold 4GB (2x2GB) and it passed 3 times out of 3 runs. Now the second stick, it passed once, then got an error twice after. I am wondering if this is the cause of my BSODs. As the stick getting the error's is in the second slot I'm wondering if the RAM usage fills stick one, and as it tries to access the top end of the second it kills itself because of it.

Also I have just recently set the voltages of it to 2.1V like the RAM says it should be, it was 1.9V which could have been the cause of the crashes. I will check to see if it works crash free soon.

Is there a reason why when trying to run memtest with both sticks in it just restarts my PC 45% into test 1?


The test I get the error on is test number 5. I will upload a pic soon.

Thanks,


Matt
 
If you still get errors after recommended voltage then a RMA is needed. I had 2 lots of faulty OCZ ram on my i7 build, the second set would pass mem-test but my system would fail stability testing if running triple channel.
 
A reboot on memtest normally means it has produced more than just a data read error. Sometimes module fail in such a way that access to teh entire module is lost and that causes both BSODs and memtest reboots.
 
Please do not create more than one thread on the same topic as Big.Wayne has mentioned in his post above. Please use your thread here in the Memory section. Thank you. :)
