GRRR my old ballistix went bad, so i RMA'd. I'm currently running it at stock settings (actually less 195mhz instead of 200 due to the divider) and when I run memtest (just for my sake since i had a few random crashes and program errors - although none while gaming really) it freezes after about a minute or two.

Once there was a little 'e' on the screen, and the othertimes the clock just stopped. No errors show up though in memtest as if the rams bad. I had the same exact ram in here all year this is just a replacment. Any ideas? its memtest 3.2

Try memtest86+ 1.65 (Oct-2005), it is newer, and it supports new CPUs/steppings/chipsets. Basically, it is based on memtest86 3.2 (2004), but updated and ported to reflect new technology.

Here: http://www.memtest.org/

If you still have trouble, make sure you are running the right voltage and test the sticks one (assuming a matched pair) at a time.

If the sticks pass one at a time and they won't run in a pair, they are bad. Matched pairs are suppossed to work together, in single or dual channel mode.
