If this happened to you with samsung based memory or any other memory chip or you are not sure what chips your sticks use, but they also died at low vdimm, please post your experience here as well, it might not be an elpida hyper problem after all...

please answer as many of the questions below, ideally all of them:
Just quote this post and then add your reply under each question

1.) How did the memory die? Idle, load, reboot?
2.) What exactly happened? freeze, errors, crash, system turned off, system rebooted, blue screen, black screen
3.) What board, pcb rev and bios version did you use?
4.) What speed and timings did you run the memory at when it died?
5.) what speed and timings did you run the memory at most of the time?
6.) What vtt did you run when the memory died?
7.) what vtt did you run the memory at most of the time?

The kit worked fine for the first 4 days, then started rebooting randomly. While stress testing with linx I lost one memory module, the system recognized only 4 GB of the six installed. After that it stopped booting. I discovered that it was due to one dead memory module. It didn't work no matter in which memory slot I put it. The other two modules worked just fine. I used DOA and now I'm working with a new kit. So far no problems.
