| Monster Techie | sad to say i think my ram is finally going to die on me. i keep blue screening in windows and i've had other memory related errors here and there. so i've run memtest86+ on it and within 15mins i already had 300 something errors (400mhz @ 4-4-4-8, although i don't know if that matters). also i was wondering if anyone has ever dealt with corsair's warranty services, and could tell me what their experience was like. i think im going to do that.

| Well it sounds like it. Maybe you should run Prime95 and see what errors you come up with just to be sure.

| Monster Techie | yeah it sucks. but i was looking anyway to get another 2gb so i could run vista ult 64 pretty well. well those are quite stock clocks. but i've always been able to run them at 400mhz @ 4-4-4-8, and ran 500 @ 4-4-4-8 when benchmarking all the time. oh well i will try that tomorrow and see what happens.

| Monster Techie | alright i ran memtest on them for 9 hours, through 16 or so tests, at 408mhz @ 5-5-5-15, what they board auto sets them too, and it didn't come up with any errors. and i've put them at stock speeds 400mhz @ 4-4-4-12 and ran orthos on it for almost 4 hours no with no errors. so maybe they're just slowing down? :/

| Monster Techie | i ran memtest86+ v2.01 for nearly 8 hours at 400mhz @ 4-4-4-12 and got no errors at all. i wonder why i was getting those BSOD's... i did switch memory into the other 2 open slots (hopefully its not my mobo )

| Monster Techie | yeah i've being running all sorts of spyware and virus scanners and nothing comes up, and i don't want to format and start over. so i still think its my ram giving out on me. but it sucks corsair won't warranty them as long as they run at specified speeds. its a good thing ram prices have come way way down, i can get some ballistix for $30 AMIR ![]()
