Probably going to RMA this week.

Tested both sticks at 310mhz overnight memtest and prime95(small ff), no errors.

Load stock values.

on saturday I tiedy to install windows with both dimms, bsod during install.
try one dimm, bsod again.
try other, installs fine.

put both dimms in, windows loads and works, test games...some crashes/bsod

remove the bad dimm that bsod while installing windows...games still reboot.
try bad dimm, 9 of 10 bootups bsod right before desktop loads with different messages.

to me this has to be a bad pair. both sticks should be able to load windows by themselves.

ps-used orange dimms when i had both gskill sticks in, yellow dimm with one stick.

also, booted and played games fine with 512mb corsair xms pc2700 ram.

im just waiting for a gskill tech to ensure me that its gotta be rma'd.

thanks

with stock settings prime95 failed after 40mins with blend test(lots of ram tested).

Will it work fine at 300MHz (stock settings)? If yes maybe upping some voltage will help.

Could you give me some 'stock settings' for these? I've tried the ones listed on the gskill site:
http://www.gskill.com/f1-4800dsu2ffsetup.html

Neither worked while testing/gaming. GS Tech also gave me settings to try, but those failed also.

Thx

I thought I did. was running at 300*8 just fine, memtested in windows, etc.

played guild wars for like 1-2hrs last night, no problems...then while creating a character, game stops and sends me to guildwars.com support page. Stating that some hardware has 1. overheated cpu or ram, 2. your overclocked, 3. memory timings arent stable.

I'll try those settings tonight and post what happens.

EDIT: Im going to try with these settings (http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30198) tonite seeing how it's VERY CLOSE to my setup. DC vs SC

Hopefully it will be ok with gaming.

Memtest fails almost instantly with those stock settings. RMA'ing today.

On another note, I am using my old Corsair 512 PC2700 XMS ram with 248x10 and a divider to keep the ram around pc2700 (ddr333). Stable even with prime blend test overnight (9hrs).
