Having a lot of problems related to (I believe) memory
My memory, MB and OS setup are:
G.Skill F2-9600CL5D-4GBPI PC2-9600 2x2GB DDR2-1200 CL5-5-5-15
Asus Maximus II Formula LGA775 P45 Motherboard
Running Vista Ultimate 64bit.
Have a geforce 8800 gts video card, but the rest is standard stuff that came with the MB. FSP Fortron 800 watt power supply as well in case that matters.
Memtest86+ runs into significant errors with all 8gb installed (waaaay less errors with 4gb). I have tried testing single chips, through the various slots (mixing the dimm slots up to try to see if it was a particular stick of ram or slot on the MB) and tests all pass (multiple passes) on single sticks, regardless of dimm slot.
I get a BSOD at least once a day. Sometimes under load, sometimes when the system is idle with no active programs (aside from TSRs). The BSODs usually list BAD_POOL_HEADER as the culprit. This is beyond frustrating.
I have had some stability increases when messing with the voltage but nothing 'rock solid' by any means and I don't want to really guess with voltage too much in case I fry something =). I do have the ram running at 1200 mhz (had to manually set)
I guess what I'd like (hopefully you can provide) is the ideal 'sweet spot' voltages for this setup. I'd like to use all 8gb (which was the reason I got 64 bit vista and spent $700+ on the ram alone)
I have looked around on the forums a bit here but am not sure what I should be setting voltage to as I've not seen much in the way of the F2-9600 1200mhz for posts.
Thanks in advance for any help you may offer!
