This is very very weird. i got this ram about a month ago from newegg. i have 2x256 signle sided dimms and they are genuine samsung. i have also run that memtester v3.0 at 200mhz fsb and also at stock 166mhz and it said there was nothing wrong w/ the ram.
Here is the deal. It will not run at aggressive settings at all whatsoever (i have tried all sorts of variations. it will not run stable at anything but stock by SPD) stable. If i do anything above 140mhz FSB w/ aggressive (unlocked cpu. 133-139 will boot into windows but wont be stable) i will get blue screen in win xp pro.
The voltage is set at 2.85 and i have decent case cooling (26C case temp) with no heat spreader. I can get 203mhz FSB with regular settings and not even 133mhz w/ aggressive. My cpu is at 1.85v, my +5v is at 5.03v my 12v is at 12.1 my +3.3 is at 3.5 (in the ABit mainboards it is called VIO and it is changeable through the bios. I have tried a higher vio as well and it does not do anything).
What is wrong with my memory or do i just have a setting wrong?
I have tried resetting cmos and after i reset cmos i goto load optimized defaults always. i have left everything on the optimized default settings except for the vcore and have put my ram in aggressive (usually i try at 2-4bank-2-5-2 but i have tried ALL of the variation of settings and none has been able to work).
What is going on here?
EDIT: I just tried using only 256 stick and i tested it in all 4 of the dims. I also tried doing it with just the other 256stick in all the dims with no success at all whatesoever. windows gets a blue screen when it boots up (xp pro)
