Corsair VS 1G kit 667MHz question

[matca484]

Hi. I am a total n00bie, so I probably have a real easy question, but still...

I fail prime95 after just 2 minutes. I watched my temps and voltages. Voltages are stable, and temps are in the low 30, so it is probably my memories. I have an ABIT KN9 Ultra motherboard, running the memories at 1,8V. Is that to low for stability. In that case, how high do I dare to raise the voltages in order to get a stable system?

It's hard to answer w/o full details of your system: brand and model number of EVERY component, including power supply, case, CPU heatsink/fan, etc. Also, you didn't say whether or not you are overclocking. If not, then clearly something is not working right in your system, and the Value Select RAM is a good place to start checking, as it has a very high defect rate (Value Select is among the worst quality of the "value" lines, because Corsair just contracts it out to the cheapest manufacturer; Kingston's ValueRAM is among the best of the "value" lines).
