upping my voltage on my corsair as well as tightening my timings has had no negative results but I will have to run memtest tomorrow to get a better idea

I was using one stick of the corsair when I failed prime95. I think that I am going to try manually setting my voltages and timings and see if that improves anything.

Well I did install off of an SP2 cd, however I did fail a prime95 test and I am thinking that I might have memory problems. Do you know how I could figure out if its my memory or not?

Thanks for the reply :) I alwready assembled the computer out of the case and was able to get it to boot one time with one stick of ram and my video card in. I then reasembled it in my case. It did boot in the case. I decided to change my fans around and tried to boot with 3 of my case fans...
