If you bought all the DIMMs at once as a set then the manufacturer guarantees them to work together. If you just bought DIMM 1 and then 6 months later bought "the same RAM" DIMM 2 then there is no guarantee they will work as a set.

First thing you need to do is determine if they are both OK independently. Memtest one DIMM at a time in the first memory slot. If they both work OK independently then you have some kind of issue with the two working together. You could try a little more voltage, you could try relaxed timing, you may never get them to work as a set.

If memtest shows errors, then it is either a bad memory overclock or bad memory.

Has this memory worked well for awhile and this is a new symptom? Or is this a change in memory some-how?

If the memory is from a matched set then you may have a bad DIMM. Take one DIMM at a time and put it in the first memory slot and re-test.
If the memory is not from a matched set then the two DIMMs may just not play well together.

Your motherboard and CPU are optimized for 4 matched DIMMs. That will give you the maximum performance.

I had my cpu overclocked but i would get freezes randomly. I reset everything to stock now and ran this mettest86+.
What do you mean "If the memory is not from a matched set "? What do i have to do?

Thanks
