First off:
Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800
Ram is set at 4-4-4-12, 2T @2.2v, Manufacturer's Stock setting.
Motherboard: XFX 680i LT
Second:
Don't tell me to run memtest, I can't, I have no blank media at my house atm and I can't get it to boot from a jump drive.

I'm using Orthos as a stress right now.

Basically, to make a long story short, I'm failing Orthos ram tests within 30 minutes. Does this mean it's my ram for sure?

On my Asus P5B DLX it ran fine.

if your ram was dead your computer would not boot, so its not dead

you might try upping the voltage some and or relax the timing to 5-5-5-15 and see if it will pass

Did you go into your bios and tell it to boot from removable media first?

you might also pull a stick out and see if its better then switch the sticks to see if one has a problem

I didn't mean "dead" as in not bootable, i meant "dead" as in not really working. Sorry about that.

5-5-5-15 has never worked properly under a test, but long ago the 4-4-4-12 passed memtest with flying colors.

Yes, I told it to boot from removable media.

I may take a stick out and see what happens. :)
