Memtest OK, Other Apps - Errors

[Ch!lledBudwei2er]

Just recived my new 2gb Gold OCZ and for some reason,

* Newest Memtest via bootdisk ran for 20 passes without a single error

* Windows based Memtest, Prime95, SuperPi etc all fail within a minute.



Does anyone know any reason behind this, and does it mean it's faulty and needs replacing or not?

Just to make sure, you aren't running Windows X64, are you? When I built my PC I had some very weird problems with X64 and Prime95. I also thought my memory was bad, but the prolems went away when I installed Windows XP.

Contacted OCZ and they gave me some instructions for getting the RAM to perform correctly.
Turns out the RAM needed 0.2v less than advertised and needed to be run at tighter speeds

Been stable in both Prime and SuperPi for over a hour now, superb!
