Hi,

Memory errors = bad Ram...Go to OCZ and ask for a RMA, explain your problem, they will give you a solution, if it does not work they will give you a RMA. Send it today they will respond tomorrow they are fast! OCZ forum is also great.

This is a copy of the email OCZ sent me for my lock-up/freeze problem, it worked, I'm now Stable

Comment: Hello James,

Try clearing the CMOS and then manually adjusting the memory settings in the BIOS. For this particular kit I recommend using timings of 7-7-7-20, command rate of 2t, and 1.8 volts.

If the problems persist even with these settings try testing each memory stick individually with Memtest. You can download a bootable copy from http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/be_pagegen.php?id=tools

If you find errors with your memory, especially if the errors follow one particular memory stick, your memory is likely faulty and will need replacement with an RMA.

Hi,

Timing is not easy you would need to test a alot of different combinations in order to find the correct one...OCZ thru their experience already have the timing you need. Your Mobo manual will tell you how to clear a CMOS & change the timing, have you been in the BIOS & did you up date your BIOS for your new build ?

You need to give this forum more info about your computer like this:
