I bought a 2gb Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 kit a few days ago, and i've been tinkering with it for a bit, but it seems to be failing Orthos after ~10 minutes, despite being able to pass Memtest86+ (bootable version) overnight for 11+ hours.
I've tried running it at various speeds (even at just DDR2-800 speeds instead of its rated 1066) and various voltages (from 2.0v up to its rated 2.2v)
I think it is important to note that the previous memory kit that I had (Corsair PC2-6400) also was doing something similar.. passing Memtest but failing Orthos.
So what can be causing this problem? My CPU? Motherboard? Or is it actually the ram?
