Hi, we always find that one stick goes bad, not both. This may indicate another problem. Try using 3.3v temporarily and see if they get worse or better. You can test them together. It might be possible that your memory controller is failing as well. Hard to say.....

Let me know.

This was/is quite common. Use the yellow slots! The early board revisions had "better" yellow slots. Only use the orange when running 4 sticks. (some boards have better orange slots, go figure...)

See if this helps.
