More Information

Hello All:
I have a QX6700 on a P5B with 4 gigs of Crucial Ballistix PC 8500. I have been running folding at home and all of a sudden started getting errors and an occasional blue screen. I ran Mem Test and discovered 3 out of the 4 sticks were bad. I called Crucial and they are going to replace them, but I need to find out what caused this problem. Crucial says under voltage can do it. My P5B Bios doesn't have the 2.2 volt that crucial specs for this ram, it has 2.15 and 2.25 so now I'm using 2.25. Will that small amount of overvoltage hurt my ram? How should I set this up so the new ram isn't ruined.
