after doing extensive testing with 2x512 corsair xms pc3200 sticks and 2x512 corsair value select pc3200 sticks, and 1 512 mushkin ive found out my problem.

My MB is a MSI k8t800 neo-fis2r. Well when I put in the 2 XMS sticks in and run them at ddr400 I get memory errors. So I put my XMS in my parents comp and they work great. I took their value select and put them in my comp and its running great. I've had no problems.

When i had my XMS in my comp i would randomly crash a lot, and memtest would usually pass 90% of the time. Only 2 or 3 times has it ever really failed.

anyone know what could be causing this?
