Help.. i cant run this memory at stock timings?

[lektrix]

Im currently using:

Abit NF7-s Rev 2.0
2500+ Mobile
2x512 Patriot XBLK PC3200 Kit
X850XT
Seagate 160GB SATA

I got my Patriot ram today (use to have Kingston HyperX 2x512 PC3200) and popped it in my system.. but ive been having problems all day long.. random restarts 5-10 mins in windows or when i open up internet browser.. obviously ram's unstable as this was NOT happening before when i used kingston..

mind you im running @ stock settings, 200fsb @ 5-2-2-2 is what it's rated at and thats what im using.. i try this with dual channel using 2 different slot combinations, switching up RAM, doing 512mb at a time, yet it still produces same problem.. i go above 200 fsb and its same thing.. now im running 6-3-3-2 timings and it seems to be fine.. is it my ram? or is it my motherboard?

ive NEVER run above 200 fsb on this motherboard, and ive never ran anything short of 6-3-3-2 whe ni had kingston.. im convinced my nf7-s is a dud, or just simply a board that cannot go over 200 fsb at tight timings..

Run mem test on the memory

i ran each stick (512mb) alone on memtest @ 200fsb 5-2-2-2, one for 8 hours and the other one for 30 minutes, both passed without problems.. this leads me to believe my motherboard hates tight timings and high fsb

what PSU are you using

aint my PSU, been using it for awhile.

antec truepower 480W

im thinking its my motherboard, cant run above 200 fsb, cant run at 5-2-2-2 timings no matter what i put..

This is BS. I just put in two sticks @ DC, 5-2-2-2, 200*6=1.2ghz and ran memtest. In 7 hours, it passed 9 times but there were 2 errors, both in Test #5. What does this mean?

oh and im using D26 mantaray XT 2T bios..

It means that the kingston was better memory
