This is the strangest thing. My last set of ram I was running at 480mhz with 2.3v (2.2v rated) and after a couple months my computer started rebooting randomly. I ran memtest and it didn't come up with any errors after 6 hours. I figured it was the ram for some reason and exchanged it then everything was working 100% perfect.
So this time I decided to run it at a slower speed at 2.25v (Don't have 2.2v option in bios, and 2.15v is unstable). It has been running fine for about 2 months again and now it has just recently started to randomly reboot. I have ran memtest for a couple hours and I don't get any errors.
This is the exact same problem I was having last time. Think my ram could be overheating? The cpu fan sucks air right past the ram so they are only a bit warm, but definitely not hot.
Is this just luck of the draw? I do use the memory heavily. Lots of multiple parity recovery for several different groups of large files, while re-encoding dvds.
