I've read through several posts of users commenting on their Mushkin memory. I recently got mine in and began stablity tests and so forth and so far, at the frequency the memory is designed for, it fails test after test after test. So, I'm asking for help from any Mushkin users out and about...
I have been using several memory tests, such as Memtest86 v3.2, and the only way it will successfully complete the tests without massive errors is to run the memory at DDR2-4300 with timings running off of SPD. Otherwise, the system chain crashes...I've ran the tests changing the speeds on manual timings and on spd timings. I did have to update the motherboards BIOS to 0422 so I would even have the DDR2-800 option. I am leaving all other settings on Asus default to attempt to further isolate the problem. Am I missing something big or did the memory not make the pain and torture of shipping? Any help would be greatly appreciated while Mushkin office hours are not avaliable.
