Hi all,
About a year and a half ago I purchased 8GiB of G.SKILL RAM, as a set, for my new Core i7 860 build. I had no problems with it; XMP worked great, RAM stayed cool, all was well. No additional overclocking/undervolting/messing around. A couple weeks ago I started noticing some system instabilities, which progressed to blue-screens and general program crashes. Running Memtest 86+ v4.20 on each of the four sticks showed many errors on one stick, and no errors on any of the other sticks. I tested them all in the same slot, for consistency.
Is there anything else I can try, or is it time to RMA? Will I be sending back all four sticks, or just the faulty one? As I understand it, the original set was matched and tested together..
p.s. Motherboard is ASUS P7P55D-E
