hi all
new build, less than a week old.
P35-DS3R rev1.0
C2D E4400 on stock cooling
Corsair XMS2 2x1gb DDR2-800 [link]
full build list
had it up and running for maybe 3-4 hours a day last wed/thur, then about 14 hours on friday. everything seemed to run ok. went to shut down friday night, and the comp rebooted before it could finish the shut down process. would never make it past windows splash screen before rebooting again.
removed one stick, booted fine and everything seemed ok. ran memtest86 on each stick in each slot, good stick passes fine, bad stick fails badly. been running fine on the good stick almost all day sat/sun
new to system building, so i don't know much about voltages and timings etc. i'm running all stock settings in BIOS. heard the DS3R defaults mem voltage to 1.8v, but easytune5pro (direct from gigabyte's site) says its at 1.9v, corsair's recommendation for this ram.
going to RMA, should i stick with this memory or get something else? what, if any, settings should i change to keep this from happening again? maybe it was just a bad stick from the factory?
thanks in advance
