Hello,
I have a problem trying to get my RAM (F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK) to run at its rated speed and timings [which are 1066 @ 5-5-5-15]. I have the following configuration:
1. Gigabyte EP35C-DS3R r2.1
2. Intel Q9550
3. F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK
4. Raidmax Volcano 630w modular PSU
5. BFG 8800GT 512MB PCIe 2.0
I currently have a 4GB G.Skill kit (DDR2 800) that works perfectly. I just bought this newer kit from newegg about 1 week ago. My PC has had about 5 BSOD reboots. I tried the RAM in memtest with default timings/auto voltages and I would get errors. I upped the voltage to the RAM and went up .1 volt for my CPU and ran memtest, didn't get any errors. However, with both dimms, I get errors. One at a time, I get no errors with either of them.
I have upped the voltage to +4V for the RAM (when both are in) and still get errors. Usually in test 5 at the end... and some errors in test 6 (in memtest)
I'd like to believe the RAM is good, just being finicky. Does anyone out there have experience with this RAM and my particular motherboard? I could use some help. THANK YOU!
