i have geil value series 2x512mb i ran memtestx86 and it showed errors on a bunch of tests should rma this stuff? i've been getting errors while playing games.. it will crash to desktop after just a few minutes....
 
Do try reseating the stuff first, assuming you havn't already. Bad contact can cause issues at times(though that is more common after systems have been shipped).
 
What Motherboard are you using? My ram (Corsair) also got errors until I correctly set up the timings, now it works.
 
i have an asrock board.. i originally set the timings as the sticker said 2.5-3-3-6 then found out one of the sticks is only rated for 2.5-4-4-8.. despite the sticker.. and then on top of that the ram is only rated 2.5-3-3-6 for single channel operation.. anyways it works better at the new timings but still crashes and has trouble running many games..
 
Does your BIOS allow you to increase the RAM voltage? Some memory likes a little extra juice, like maybe 2.7v.
