    It's voltage and timings for every frequency.

    They run now at 400 mhz ( x 2 ) as you said.

    You should be ok testing the ram because you need to do it from a bootable device( cd/usb stick).

    It's best you leave it for at least 7 passes but if the ram is faulty you should see results fasts. I saw my errors after like 30 mins. I had 2 gb Kingston DDR2 running at 667 Mhz.

    Voltages are different for almost every ram and motherboard. It depends on the quality too. High quality ram doesn't need that much voltage at 1066 Mhz ( 2.1 V) for example.

    Test the ram and post the results.

    No need for now. The voltage is good if it's stable for you.

    Last time I checked my voltage was ~1.5 V. And I have 8 gb ddr 3 at 1333 Mhz ( Corsair).

    I checked now and I see your MB supports max 8 gb ram ddr2. You should try to remove two modules of ram to see if the problem persists.

    yes my mb supports max 8gigs thats why i bought 8 gigs :P also , many many users of the same MB recommand the ram i use , so it should be compatible.
    after 2 and a half runs, i found 1 red sector ( twice ) , uhm i dont know what it tells me , what info you need from the memtest ?
