OCZ Gold 3x2GB DDR3-1600

On build finish, went to BIOS and kicked up the RAM ratio to 2:12 and left everything default (BCLK 133 * 12 = 1596, close enough until I OC the CPU to 200 BCLK).

Got a bunch of nvlddmkm.sys errors randomly in Vista, read in a lot of places it's due to bad RAM sticks. So I ran Memtest86 from a CD, and it looks like the test starts, but then it displays 23 errors found in the right most side of the screen. Tried to press ESC and any of the other keys, doesn't respond at all. It also shows what seems to be 4 slots (0, 1, 2, 3) with the number 22 next to the slot number, and then somewhere else it says MAX CONTINGUOUS ERRORS: 1...

Bad RAM? Fucking OCZ...
 
First, make sure you have set voltage to the rated one in bios (I believe it's 1.65v but double check that). Second, use the latest version of memtest which supports i7. Third, test sticks individually
