Motherboard stated above, picked up this yesterday OCZ (OCZ2SOE9002GK) DDR2 PC2-7200 2GB kit (2x1024) Dual channel Special Ops Edition 900MHz. Im not a total noob when it comes to bios and computer components I understand this memory requres more V them my motherboard is set to default so i put it up to + 1V +2V +3V and +4V
it crashes on windows only sometimes 1 in 5 (blue screen and memory dump ) and memtest only when i run two instances of it and when mem usage is at 98% for more than 5 min. Thats not the only problem when I run CPU-Z 1.39V it shows my memory as pc 5300 max bandwith 333MHZ and If i knew how i would post a screenshot so this is what cpuz states 5 -5 -5 15 settings dual channel mode under spd i get ddr2 and the same max pc5300 333mhz OCZ2SO9001G is the part number now in my bios F9 updated bios from gigabyte when i clear my cmos and put in just on stick by itself and boot it will automatically detect it as 667MHZ memory ddr2 stick with 5-5-5-13 timings if i inclrease the V same thing I put in another stick to run dual channel same thing both running at 667 on V+1,2,3,4 what am i doing wrong did i get defective memory or what are the possibilities here.....?I knwo i can play around with the FSB and get my memory manually to 900MHZ and input the 5-5-5-15 timings and v+4 to boot up and get into windows but bios and cpu-z still read it at PC5300 333MHZ max. I also have platinum kit 512 X 2 800Mhz which i played around with before the upgrade and have had it up to 950MhZ stable I just purchased this and can exchange it for the platinum version of the 2GB kit, that is kind of what i am considering? any experiences which is better more stable? and how are the compability issues with my mobo Im runing vista 32 bit Core 2 Duo watercooling any and all info and input is welcome as im stuck in between exchanging for the platinum series and or getting 2 new sticks of the current help and advice please.....
