Ram: F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
Motherboard: GA-MA770T-UD3P rev. 1.0
CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition Callisto 3.1
I believe my ram is bad and here is why. I can't install vista ultimate 64bit because of BSOD's and lockups during installation. Same thing happens when I tried to install Windows 7 64bit. I was able to install Windows XP 32bit after a couple of BSOD's during install and then re-trying. After getting XP installed, the system will randomly BSOD then reboot on its own. So, I made sure that all my settings where set to optimized in BIOS and manually set my ram timings to 9-9-9-24 2T and set my ram voltage up to 1.64 (tried voltages all the way up to 1.8, no differnce) and I changed from 1300 to 1600. I then ran memtest386. With both sticks in I got a ton of errors immediately. So I began testing the sticks seperate. The first stick came up with errors immediately. The second stick came up with errors at 32% pass of test 4. Are my 2 sticks of ram bad and if they are what do I do now? I bought them from newegg on 1/02/10 and have been fighting this problem since they arrived here on 1/06/10.
Thank you for any help in advance.
