Hi all!

My build before I start asking questions :D:

Q6600 @ 3.2ghz
GA-P35C-DS3R Bios ver F12E
4gb OCZ 1066 @ 1088

My main question as you can guess is my RAM.. Before I had this ram, I had Crucial 2gb 800 and last year, the PC fell on its side (bloody kids).. Well since then, a stick died a few months later.. I decided to upgrade this year and bought the above ram and ran memtest today to find out that this ram is also dying (constant errors)..

Also on the Overclock, I left the voltage at normal on the ram or maybe an extra 0.1 in the settings.. Could there be other forces at work here, that is making my ram constantly die... Maybe a bad slot on the board, short on the case or maybe a borked board now :eek:.,

I dunno, I may just have to replace all 3 to be on the safe side, which might even be a waste lol..I guess thats why im asking the experts! ;)

Cheers

well just a lil update.. Ran memtest on each stick and it turns out that one stick is very faulty!

Problem being, its the ram that was seated in the right hand bay, which is the same bay, my last stick on ram was faulty in.. Anyone think this is just a coincidence or maybe a problem with the board and its unpleasant experience from falling over while on! :eek:

Oh yea, forgot to add, I tested these while settings were at default.

Well, at least your memory is coming up with errors, mine just restarts the computer :(

I'd say that it's possibly your motherboard that is faulty, not the memory, otherwise you may just have been very unlucky.
