it will not show what is wrong
I was experiencing quite a few errors, and decided to run Memtest86+ and it passed about six runs, and I noticed on the top of the screen "press T to run extended tests" so I pressed the T and it ran a few more extensive tests and my mem failed on the first run in extended mode.
Only one stick failed, but both showed "ddr voltage fail" in my bios...and no amount of raising/lowering voltage would cure it. That's when I ran Memtest86+ and found a bad stick.
If you are not sure about your ram, run memtest86+ in extended mode, and let it run at least 5 passes or more b4 deciding your ram is good enough.
Had to go out and get some cheap OCZ pc6400 to get by...dunno how much I can push this ram..I doubt it will do as well as the pc9200 though.
