Ok, I am super unstable with 4x1GB even with 2.2v, which is what it supports, however if i have it on "auto" in bios it goes to 1.9v and runs more stable, now, if i go with a single set i can set it at 2.0v and 4-4-4-14 timings and i run like a champ...can you suggest what the problem is?

I am currently running 2 sticks otherwise i get game crashes.

-note-
Ram is not Overclocked, however beaucse my BIOs does not support raising the CPU FSB i have to raise the system FSB, so its set at 1715 FSB.

I had the same problem w/ the Ballistic Tracer rated at 2.2v running at 800mhz. 3 of the 4x1GB ddr2800 I got runs unstable. Crucial shipped me new replacement rated at 2.0V. There is not much you can do but to contact Crucial and have it replace. The new Tracer 2.0v works flawless. I even try to OC to 1000Mhz and it's still stable but I left it at 850mhz.

CPU: q6600 OC 3.4Ghz Zalman-- PSU: Corsair 750Watt
GPU:ATi 3870 and 2900XT--HD: WD 640gigx3, Seagate 250, WD 34GB raptor
Mobo: Abit p35 pro-- case: Cooler Master 690

Well i bought this like over a year ago and its starting to upset me, i had one set in my sisters computer then another set in my computer with a 664mhz set and even that was stable yet when i try to run them all with each other is start to get problems and errors. Now that i think about it more it might even be the MoBo.

I have had all kinds of problems with Ballistix...I would stay away from them until they show some sign of getting better
