Have you tried testing ram with MemTest? Ed metest86 checked out fine both sticks do the same thing also, this setup was fine about a month ago |

Yeah a month ago it was fine, sounds familiar :-) Is it hot with you now?
Heat plays a huge part and Prime95 will stress your memory MUCH more than Memtest. Try loosening your timings, that sometimes could help BUT I would blame heat. Patrick "Geoff" wrote in message ...

Hello,
