I have recently build a new system and I decided to run a memtest. My memory is corsair xms2 2x1gb ddr2 675. My mobo is a gigabyte 965p-s3. So it made it through most of the tests and at test #7 it just starts throwing errors like crazy. I am thinking that the memory is bad and i am going to have to rma it. But then i decide to take one stick out and just run in single channel and see what happens. The memtest runs through a couple passes and not a single error. So i take that stick out and throw the other one in. Same thing, couple of passes and no errors. So now i am wondering what is going on. So i put each individual stick in each individual slot and run the test(eight different tests) and each one runs perfectly without any errors. So by this point i am starting to think that it is not a memory issue. I put both sticks back in and run a test and it runs just fine, no errors. Then i run it again, and this time at test #7 there are a bunch of errors again. I am pretty bummed on the whole situation.
So at this point i am just wondering if anybody might know of a fix or if somebody can definitively diagnose the problem. Appreciate any advice.
Thanks.
