Anyone else with weird Memtest errors? Does your RAM like more / less volts than they're rated for at stock speeds?

Maybe this BIOS is just too immature...
I didn't bother testing one stick at a time since my sticks came in pairs and to RMA I would have to return both anyway.

Just FYI, I would get errors in tests 5, 6, 7, 8.
Sometimes it was just one or two of those tests or all of them.

I didn't try upping the voltage though. All I did was leave the BIOS at it's default settings and then try the RAM.

I don't see why the voltage would cause a problem as both the OCZ and Ballistix I have are the same timings and same PC2 8500 yet OCZ pair works just fine.

I wasn't overclocking though. I just reset the BIOS and Cleared all the settings and then tried the RAM. No changes except to boot from CD first.
