Hello all,
I am having some issues with my memory sticks failing after about a month of use. I am using the normal testing methods to isolate the problem (memtest, prime95, isolating stick, swapping slots, etc) and have isolated the problem to one stick. The thing is, this is the third stick that has failed.
I have two questions:
First, how common is it for memory to fail after a month (three times)?
Second, could it be the mobo causing a memory stick to fail?
I would appreciate you feedback.
Lemme list some details about my system:
mobo: ASUS p5b Deluxe/Wi-fi
memory: Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400 (i've used both SPD and 4-4-4-12 timings)
video card: Sapphire/ATI X1950XTX
PSU: Hyper 550W
Overclocked?: NO - I'm afraid to do this much until I get this memory thing fixed.
System Temps: 34 to 44 C, depending on room temp
CPU temp: 39 to 56, full load
