I just got back my RMA'ed memory from Kingston and it worked fine for awhile and then some games would either CTD or I'd get a BSOD.(completely new sticks though) I immediately though new memory and ran memtest for about an hour and a half to come up with 1 error in test 6 with memtest86+ 1.11.(492.8MB the error occured so im thinking stick 1)

This is much better than before though, as I'd get 736 errors in 2 minutes with my last two 512MB sticks but my 2x256MB sticks can run memtest 3.0 for 8 hours without any errors. Did I get defective sticks again or maybe its just my mobo because the past 3 or 4 sticks of memory with 512MB seem to have some problem?
 
Anyone? I need help before I decide to plop another 100 bucks down on a new mobo.
 
Excuse me for pointing out the obvious, but you tried bumping up the voltage correct?
 
Yup 1 error at 2.7v so its now at 2.8.

My timings are 2-2-2-11 and the stock setting is 2-2-2-6 but I doubt a slower timing would cause errors at all.
 
There is an anomaly with nforce2 boards with that 2-2-2-11 is faster than 2-2-2-5.
