I just uped my memorys voltage to 2.8v my ram is kingsotn hyper x and is rated at 2-3-2-6, when I run it at 2-3-2-6 it crashes out of 3dmark and cant make it 2 mins in the prime 95 memory test. When i turn it to 2-3-3-6 it runs 3dmark03 fine and does not crash out in prime. What could be the problem, I thought it was not enough volts but I uped it from 2.6-2.8 and it still wont work.

Hi I have an amd 2800+, 1 gig kingston hyper x, geforce Fx 5900 slightly overclocked and a WinFast K7NCR18D-Pro motherboard. Im getting in my mobile 2600 tommorrow So i would like to sort this ram thing out before i start overclocking.
If you passed the memtest it's unlikely (but still possible) you have memory issues. I'd take one stick out, and use 1 at a time. If one stick fails, and the other works fine, you know its a module. Be sure to test both modules.
The power supply is a valid area and possible problem.. As well as the motherboard. North bridge could be over heating, or something to that effect..
