More Information

I did a memtest and it failed.

Screenshot Above.

Since the error appears to have occured at a 1400mb point, does this mean I should replace the DIMM in slot1 and keep the DIMM in slot0?

I really have no idea what to do.

Please help.

Specs:

2x1gb Kingston PC5300
Intel E2160 @1.98 (10% oc)
Intel 945 GC Revision A2 chipset.
Thamestar 450w psu with 18A on +12v rail (It is a generic POS that my good friend Borat brought over from Kazahkstan.)

*Borat voice* "Hello, My name is Borat. I bring you power supply. It was NOOOOT tested. It was testednot. It was tested, pause, NOT!"

First keep the RAM at 1:1 (FSB:RAM). Second try increasing voltage by +.1.

Run each stick by itself and one will fail. It's the easiest way to tell.

Zorg, I will do that. Should I run more memtests with them separately installed?

Shadow, we have a problem:

1) Mobo won't let me adjust ANY voltages as far as I know, only the fsb.
2) I'm not sure if it is possible to change this: Currently the ram sits at 4:3 FSB:Ram, so the ram should be performing as though it runs at DDR2-600 at 224mhz fsb (max oc) and it runs at DDR2-533 at stock clocks with this ratio then. Will there be any performance loss by going from 4:3 to 1:1?

Uh yeah, I meant put each stick in individually and run memtest86+. One of them will fail the test. If neither fails the test then you have other problems.
