Need help with trade

[ChurchOfSubgenius]

I sold a guy some Infinion PC-800 RDRAM, I never had a bit of a problem with it and shipped very safely and he just sent me a mail stating:

Thanks for sending the memory, I testet them briefly
the day I got them then this weekend I did a clean
sweep to my machine to install a fresh Windows XP.

Unfortunately things did not go very well, my PC locks
up so frequently so it became unusable also I recieved
Bad Checksum Errors twice (This never happened to me
before) as soon as I switched them to my 2x256 MB no
lock ups happen.

I will not be to hasty to blame it on the memory, I am
suspecting that it is could be that my mother board
(Intel D850 MV) being one of the early Rdram
Motherboard doesn't tolerate the PC800-40 NS.

So I have a question.....is there a good piece of software I can send him to test it with? I will wash my hands of this if it's a motherboard incompatablity problem but I need to prove it.

Thanks for your input, please bump if you have read this far.

It seems that it would be a good idea but after running memtest....any failure would look like the memory. I need some way of pinpointing his motherboard. (honestly)

What BIOS is he running?

vP11-0027 added support for higher speed RAM and a P800-45ns warning.

Thanks LiLith!, I just mailed him that Bios file in hopes he would try it out and all will be good.
