Ok, so I bought myself some Corsair Value Select ram to upgrade from my old pc2100 samsung. The first set I got did not pass a memtest stability test at stock settings. I RMA'd it and got my new set. These don't pass memtest either. I thought about the chances of getting two sets that are defective out of the thousands I'm sure are sold and I can't imagine with such low odds that I get two sets that don't work. Is there some issue with my board? I'm running the official 7/28 BIOS and I have tried the latest official BIOS also but that did not correct the problem and it also made my internet stop working so I went back to 7/28. I have not tried the sticks individually or in different slots, do you think that might be the problem?
I know the old saying "You get what you pay for" but I'm not made of money and I can't spend 200-300 bucks on something that will barely benefit my PC such as RAM.
