See sig below for system specs.
Ok I have about had it with this PQI memory I have. It may be time to RMA it for something different.
Here is my frustration. I have been playing with different overclock settings to try and get my computer 100% stable. At my current settings (220x11) I can run Prime95 using the small FFT test with no errors. As soon as I run the blend test I error out in under a minute. I have not run Memtest yet with these settings, but I would error out in test 5 when my settings were 220x10.
Is my memory crappy? It kinda pisses me off as I bought PC-4000 so I could keep the timings at stock and be able to run the FSB up to 250. So why does it seem that my memory is unstable at stock timings even though I am underclocking the memory?
Unless somebody can give me some pointers to solve this instability problem, I will probably RMA it and get something different. Anyone have suggestions for good memory. I am thinking I should have bought PC-3500 instead of going for PC-4000.
Thanks!
