I have a P5Q motherboard and (4) sticks of G.Skill DDR2-800 memory

in Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit I don't appear to have any issues, but as part of my overclocking/stress testing procedures I usually run Memtest86 to verify the memory is working.

well, when I run it on this system I get memory errors in different tests..sometimes after 2.5 hours, sometimes after 20 mins. The memory address is always 000000000

I highly doubt the memory is faulty, just want to see how I can resolve this.

This is the memory

doesnt matter if the memory is running at 667, 800, or 1066 speeds..same type of errors.
I have also tried the memory individually and 3 out of the 4 fail within 2 hours

Address 0 is motherboard error...

Can you pass Prime 95 Blend & HCI Memtest in Windows?

If so, i dunno.

It may need more NB voltage though, or the board might be faulty (though i'd run the aforementioned tests in Windows).
