Just thought i'd ask here for a bit of help, ive had memory rmaed a good few times now.. Gskills, whats happening is that im not getting any stability when i put the correct timings and 275Mhz operating speed.. then later i kept getting blue screens upon bootup to the point where the memory became useless.. its getting way annoying because i bought my first set of gskills about a year ago or just under.. and ive been fiddling ever since and no luck at all.

I've used the stock cooler, and the mach II.. i dont think it overheats with the stock cooler as ive kept cpu speed down and memory speed up

I'm currently awaiting my next set of memory.. not looking forward to it because of the problems ive had. What is the problem? is it my cpu or the memory?, motherboard?, psu? what? im stumped.. i cant get anywhere at all and ive asked on other forums nobody can really seem to help.. i wish somebody could actually test my computer because im lost.. lol
 
I have a 3500 clawhammer aswell, as because of the cold boot issues with my winnie i needed the claw for the Mach II, and it is around the same with that.

I'm confused.. and lost, ive spent quite a bit on this rig and still getting nowhere.

Btw, ive sent back memory for RMA.. right now im using older sticks i had lying around and no blue screens at their standard 3200 speed.. The thing i dont understand about the gskills is that ive had a good few sets of them now and the same thing has happened each time, they work ok at standard speed but if i try their rated 275mhz they will work for a bit but make apps crash or get errors in memtest, then after a while they just stopped working, got as far as windows boot screen then get page dumps even at their normal 3200 speed.

so totally confused here and no idea where the problem lies
