Yes if RAM is bad, its bad. Good thing you found out now.
Tested one new stick in a couple of slots and in both i finded errors. But failing addresses are not all equal to each over. I mean In second scan there are some other failing adress, and where it matches, good and bad sectors do not match. later i will add some screens.
Hi Tom
Please fill out your system specs and if you could provide the timings and part number from both sets of RAM.
Might be better help coming your way with a little more information.
Hi Kipper, in first post i added spd screen of both sticks, but ok, will do it a little bit later for you, timings are of a little bit, :/
Edit: As i said before, i will upload test results later, but i find strange thing, at least for me.
In memtest there are few lines about system: memory,chipset,settings.
Take a look what it shows to me:
#1Intel X38/X48 (ECCisabled) - FSB :334 Mhz - Type: DDR2
#2Intel X38/X48 (ECCisabled) - FSB :334 Mhz - Type: DDR2
#3Intel X38/X48 (ECCisabled) - FSB :334 Mhz - Type: DDR3
#4Intel X38/X48 (ECCisabled) - FSB :334 Mhz - Type: DDR3
As far as i know, ddr3 is not compatible with MB which run ddr2, so what it this? Mistake by the program?

Here are my DRAM options: ( i had 2x2GB old rams, and brought 2x2GB same vendor sticks)
Old stick:
A-DATA
DDR2 2GB
PC2 6300(400Mhz)
Jedec #1 200mhz 3-3-3-9-12
Jedec #2 266mhz 4-4-4-12-16
Jedec #3 400mhz 5-5-5-18-23
New stick:
A-DATA
DDR2 2GB
PC2 6300(400Mhz)
Jedec #1 266mhz 4-4-4-12-16
Jedec #2 333mhz 5-5-5-15-18
Jedec #3 400mhz 6-6-6-18-24
I just finished scaning my memory and results are... Both NEW sticks were with errors in all of the slots while old worked correctly.
I just borrowed computer from my friend to check the rams in his mb.
First two photos are with one new stick in different slots.
Next two photos are with other new stick in different slots.
Last photo is with all ram inside.
The reason because i ran test for a so short time is because if it finds an error, it already failed the test. Moreover, i figured out that company, in which i brought rams supports RMA only 7days after purchase...Warranty is 36months, but who knows what they gonna say about that, so im short of time.
I dont see the problem at this point. The MB is fine. The ram is either defective or not comatible with your MB.
Use this site, make your decision and get new ram. Just dont mix and match.

Im getting sick and tired of these ram demanding problems...
I guess this is my last shot in this thread. I ran couple of test in friends computer and.... tadaaaam, it works without any problems...
This is mine mb page: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Motherboards- ASUS P5E
This is his mb page: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Motherboards- ASUS M2N-E
Why the hell it work in M2NE and do not work in P5E if specifications are all the same? :!!!!! I havent adjusted bios, its stock, havent overclocked anything, everything is default... So what the...? :/
