    Houston, we have a problem...


    Well zigzag3143, you were right on the memory stuff... So much for my recent memtest... My RAM (Team Extreem Dark) is DDR2 1066 which is an overclocked RAM)

    After feeling the wall (having tried to avoid it by doing the less time consuming steps) I tried memtest from USB; RAM - Test with Memtest86+

    First run with all sticks populated resulted in a near instant sea of red...

    So maintaining the Bios settings:
    Test 1 All sticks (A1/ Slot 1, B1/ Slot2, A2/ Slot3, B2/ Slot4) sea of red...
    Test 2 (A1/ Slot 1) 8 passes
    Test 3 (B1/ Slot2) sea of red...
    Test 4 (A1/ Slot 2) 14 passes overnight=
    Test 5 (A1/ Slot 3) 4 passes and still testing | [5 passes >]

    [Test 6 (A1/ Slot 4) 2 passes ]

    [Test 7 (A2/ Slot 1) processing]


    1. So will continue testing slots 3 and 4 with A1 stick (proved good on general setting).
    2. Then test last 2 sticks for errors
    3. Test sticks correctly paired in correct channels.
    4. Test "bad" stick at reduced voltage, but doesn't look good.

    Luckily, the Team RAM has a "lifetime" warranty. I'll report back with some more info when it comes to hand...

    With thanks and regards,
    Dave

    PS This RAM runs Hot! Between 1.8 - 2.0V

    Propose:
    Test 8 = (B2/ Slot 1)
    Test 9 = (A1/Slot 1) + (A2/ Slot 3) for dual channel @ Reduced volts and speed (800 Mhz)
    Test 10 = (A1/Slot 1) + (B2/ Slot 3)+ (A2/ Slot 3) to maintain 6G of RAM

    @ 45mins a pass.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz or ?

    So, does memtest usually find errors quickly with all slots populated?

    Its not any faster when they are is just seems that way. Sometimes it is that the suspect stick just fails more quickly because of voltage.

    K. Well Team supposedly gave lifetime warranties on their RAM and mine has never been run above declared volts. I keep my case resonably clean and have good airflow, but have cut my voltage to RAM and hence it's speed.

    RAM is now running 6G in flex mode, and I've had no BSODs but still a couple of appcrashes. Am still looking for the drivers to replace the old ones and have fully removed RealTemp for now. Atto'd the Revodrive and still hitting 540, so I'm pretty happy with that on an old P45 sata 2 system...

    Thanks again for your help zigzag3143
