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.


Same here, usually between tests 4 and 5, although one stick was bad enough to show an error immediately. It just seems weird to me that this many sticks are actually bad. I think this board is just REALLY picky about what chips and SPD data are on the sticks.
