Just got back my triple channel OCZ Gold 1600mhz from RMA 2 days ago and upon start up it worked fine (the previous set had one faulty chip which slowed the computer during general tasks and blue screened on Vista logon). Then I started up a game and it blue screened + restarted. Tried again, same game, this time crashed to desktop, tried another game... crashed to desktop, tried another game... froze completely.
What got me scared is that it might be a DIMM slot issue, but searching google it seems the OCZ Gold models have lots of problems with them. I run memtest86+ on each stick one at a time and got these results:
Is this for sure a RAM problem and not my motherboard? I got the MB with the RAM and CPU but I don't really wanna pay delivery to RMA the board. I'm just ****ed off that two chips out of three are faulty, it just seems a bit odd that there are so many faulty chips from this brand. Thanks.
