I have an Asus PC-DL Deluxe board with two xeon's and (originally) 4 sticks of Kingston ValueRAM (KVR333X64C25K2/1G).
It would occasionally blue screen and reboot, but I got more RAM for it (KVR333X64C25/1G) and it crashes even more often now.
This is one of 3 identical machines, I did the same upgrade to the others, and they run perfectly fine.
I have run Memtest86+ V1.70 on all 3 machines and this one only usually throws memory errors on the second test, but only if I combine the two 1GB sticks with the two 512Mb sticks. The others pass with flying colors.
I have tested every stick of ram in single and dual configurations and they all pass, and
I have seven KVR333X64C25K2/1G's and two KVR333X64C25/1G's. Both sets run at 2.5-3-3-7.
I even had a spare motherboard of the same exact model, swapped it out, and I still get the same errors.
I put it back to it's original state (where it crashed less with the 4x512) and it will not error on memtest86+, but I ran 4 instances of prime95 on the high ram usage, and they got FATAL ERROR messages in times ranging from 7min to 2hrs 30min.
Right now I put in some Corsair 256mb PC3200 2-3-3-7 ram from another computer, it passed memtest86+ and I am running prime95 again to see if it errors out.
So in conclusion, there seems to be a correlation between amount of RAM in the system and the errors, but I can't seem to think of what could be causing them, especially since I swapped out the motherboard too.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Edit:
Just stopped the Prime95 sessions running on the Corsair ram. They were all still running after 65hrs and 11min with no errors.
