As stated in my sig, I have 2x512mb of OCZ PC3200 Enhanced Latency.
On the original board I bought it for, an AOpen board, it worked great--I could push it to ~245 at 2.8v without any problems. Something happened (still don't really know what... hell of a short probably) and choked that board to death, and took the CPU with it. Since then, one of my DIMMs appears dead... won't POST at all with this new motherboard (in my sig) if it's in.
The other, however, works... but it won't push past ~217mhz at 1:1. At 5:4, I have little problem pushing it up into the mid-20s.
Lately, I've been having lockups when gaming. I can bench just fine... all the way through 3D Mark 05 over and over without an issue, dual Prime95 for 15 hours with no issues, temps are fine on both CPU and GPU.... but occasionally games will checker out and lock. I considered this a graphics issue until a friend built a very similar system and ran into the same problem--the RAM he had bought functioned fine, passed memtest86 and such, but was just incompatible with his board and was causing the lockups. He swapped out the RAM, and it worked fine.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to another DIMM or two to test out this hypothesis, so I was curious if anyone thought this could be the problem? It passes memtest86 just fine and such, but I still get these weird random locks.
