Hi there.
I recently bought a Asrock P43Twins1600 Mobo with 2gb of Ocz 800Mhz 4-4-4-15 2.1v RAM (2x 1gb)
I have started to get recent shutdowns and crashes and then the PC locked up one day then would crash when the Windows desktop appears. Loading in safe mode works fine.
Running memtest 1.7 shows that whatever stick of RAM I tried in any of the 4 DDR2 slots showed a lot of errors. I assumed this meant that the Memory Controller on the motherboard must be broken. However I managed to find a PC with 533Mhz RAM and that tested fine in my PC. Unfortunately I cant test the OCZ RAM in this PC as the mobo doesnt like 800Mhz RAM
I overlclock a E2220 (2.4Ghz, 800 FSB) up to 3.0Ghz (running 333Mhz*9) but I have the RAM strapped at 800Mhz and running the stock voltage of 2.1v. The mobo accepts up to 1`600MHZ FSB
I am wondering whether both sticks of RAM suddenly became faulty after working fine for 2 months, or the Memory Controller on the mobo is faulty but runs ok when slower memory is installed.
Any thought swould be appreciated as the RAM and mobo are both under warrenty, but which one do I send back?!?!?!
Many thanks
