Prime95 Torture Test fails in the 1st minute...

Ive been trying to it 2.42ghz (220x11) and Prime95 Torture Test (blend) always fails within 2 minutes. I've tried using up to 1.95 vcore, and got the same result. Arent the first tests in the torture test on the memory? I'm trying to figure out what is the limiting factor in my overclock. Could it be timings? What should try ....3-4-4-7?

Download memtest86 and test your memory on its own first.

Memtest86 will work for memory, but I find that for it to be effective you have to run the extended tests. To do that press "c" when it starts running and choose "extended tests" from the menu.

If you're doing this on a desktop barton 2500 you probably can't get to 2.4 Gigs... The highest I could get mine was 2.35. Is it locked? If so I doubt the problem is your ram.
