When i try to test my ram for errors (using memtest86 or memtest86+) the test just freezes up at test 8. The timer even stops counting. I tried the test at stock & oc but it still stops at test 8. Is there something wrong with the program or is it my ram?

My Ram is: Corsair 1GB (TWINX1024-3200C2PT)

Are you trying windows version, dos version or DFI built in version?

I think you have it overclocked too high. Decrease the ram speed and see if that helps any.

Did you try burning another ISO, because that one could be faulty.

Does all the tests freeze or is it just test 8, because I always use test 5 which is the quickest and best test IMO.

1-7 test works fine but when it gets to test 8 it freezes at 21%ish

stock
First stick: pass
Second stick: pass
Both sticks: freezes up at test 8

I can't figure out why is it doing this?

Do you have them in the same colored slots? They may not be in dual channel.

Try single channel and if it still ends up with errors then RMA the sticks.
