Ive got some OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Reaper HPC Edition Dual Channel DDR2 RAM on a P5Q-Pro motherboard. My system has been unstable in games since I built it.
I originally thought it was my gfx card cuz I was getting atikmdag errors and BSOD but I changed my RAM to a cheap stick of PC2-5300 and it became completely stable.
My memory also fails in prime95 blend test and the vista memory diagnostic tool but never fails in memtest. What does this suggest? A compatability issue or faultly RAM?
I'm worried that Ill send it back to o/c for an RMA and itll pass their memtest stressing and theyll just send it back to me.
I've changed the voltages (NB and RAM) and changed the clock speed down to 667MHz but nothing helps.
