hey guys


i wanted to put my computer back to stocks, easy said easy done i put everthing to default, all started up well and stuff, ran orthos for cpu, no problems. did the same for the ram, encountered problems after 34 seconds. when i had my cpu overclocked i put the ram to ddr333 with 2.7v and it was really stable at 2.5-4-4-8. now it aint even stable at 3-4-4-8 :S

anybody know what the problem might be?

Start checking them individually single channel at default with Memtest86. If they pass then run SuperPi 32 mb and Orthos again...........been there. :confused:
