You can install just the driver through device manager.
I just started stick 2 into the second slot b1 and i noticed its saying the stick is 200mhz ddr400 which is wrong i stopped the test and set the bios to 1333 as it was before the bios reset last night. and restarted the test and it still says the same thing pic included not that a picture matters im assuming.
For now im just continuing the test as told until someone tells me otherwise.
Finished that test with no errors. Tried the other stick in the same slot and it was saying it was the same speed 200mhz 400ddr so im moving onto the 3rd slot and its reporting as 1333 ddr.
Stick one in slot 3 had errors. Slot 4 started test reporting ram as ddr400 like slot 2.
Slot 4 with stick 2 got massive errors.

Posting pictures is always good, worth a thousand words.
Good information.
Are these the voltage setting in BIOS?
VDDNB Over Voltage to 1.250v
Memory Over voltage to 1.65v
Need to confirm:
Both RAM cards are showing 200MHz 400DDR in B channel.
Both RAM cards are showing 666MHz 1333DDR in A channel.
When you ran memtest86+ with both RAM cards installed and it passed, were they in slots A1 & A2?
The possibilities are:
Motherboard, bad RAM slot(s) or channel B
CPU IMC problem causing channel B to not function correctly. Possible bent CPU pin.
Bad RAM
Bios problem
Best way to test this is to test your RAM in a different computer and test different RAM in your computer.
If you get the same results with your RAM in another computer, it's the RAM.
If you get the same results with different RAM (known to be good) in your computer, then it could be the motherboard or CPU-IMC.
Depending on the testing, you might need to check the pins on your CPU, later.

No my voltages are back on auto from reset I wasn't sure if i needed to keep those since it asked for a reset and those were the only things not on default I wasnt sure what was best to do. And yes both ram are were shown as ddr400 in either B channel when testing per card per slot aswell as show 1333 in the other slots so it seems to be those specific slots im assuming a setting if the slots are messed up.
I cant honestly say where my memory was for the last test with both in it I THINK it was a1 a2 but its been moving around with crashes and not wanting to boot i cant say with certainty.
I've add to my previous post, take a look.
Just to confirm, change the voltages in BIOS:
VDDNB Over Voltage to 1.250v
Memory Over voltage to 1.65v
Run memtest86+ again, start with card #2 in slot B2 (#4), if it shows errors you will need to test with different RAM in your system, etc.
If it passes, then continue with the RAM testing changing the cards and slots.
ok put those voltages and am running 2 in slot 4. its still reporting it as ddr400.
Was hoping that might get to report correctly, continue with the test so we can see if it passes.
It didn't its hitting a giant chain of errors.
Ok, you can stop the test.

I won't be able to test with other ram/system until maybe the weekend. So if thats the next step in testing there wont be any updates from me until then most likely.
