"Crucial mem fixed stuff" = ??? What is that ?

Use a copy of CPUZ, to view the impact and changes caused by
using two sticks of the OCZ, two sticks of the Crucial, then
all four sticks together. The BIOS will adjust the
settings for the slowest of the memory sticks, assuming
all the settings are at auto. If you forced the settings
manually in some way, then you are in control of your
own fate :-)

Also, you should be testing with memtest86+, before booting
Windows, to ensure there is not a gross mistake with the
memory setup. Failure to do that, can in some cases result
in a corrupted Windows install. If you boot into Windows,
after adding more memory, you have no idea whether the
memory is working right or not. That is what memtest86+
is for.

Write your question again so it makes sense. What's broken and what's not
and how does the mem figure in all this.

I *think* I know what you are asking, but I'm sure myself and others don't
want to waste their time answering just in case you were actually asking
something else.

Default HELP w/GA-EP35-DS3L MEMORY

i quess is it was written to fast. i apologize. i did too many changes at
once.but when i removed the crucial ballistix tracer all was stable again.
so it seems that maybe the 2 different kinds of mem( ocz and the crucial) do
not work right together without alot of tweaking? which i admit i do not
know much about memory (i think the crucial was like 4,4,4,15 whearas the
ocz was 5,5,5,19 , both are 2-1gig sticks pc6400
