alright, i borrowed 2 sticks of 512 Crucial Ballistix PC4000/DDR500 RAM from a friend to try it out
i put it to the recommended timings on their website which were 2.5-3-3-8
and set the vdimm voltage to 2.8 (suggested voltage)
it boots up fine when i'm OC'd 1:1 to bring it back up to the 250mhz its supposed to be at
but no matter what i do, even at 100% stock speeds, after i do anything that is graphically intense, my computer locks up and i have to manually restart it - it happens in CS, SOF II, 3dmark03, hell... even winamp makes it lock up
any ideas whats wrong here? i'm not much of a RAM guru and could definitely use some help here
i finally gave up and put my sticks of generic DDR400 back in and it works fine with no problems whatsoever
please help me!!
