Ballistix Performance Memory

[Spaz888]

I bought some Crucial Ballistix Dual Channel quite some time ago:

Crucial Ballistix Dual Channel 1024MB PC3200 DDR 400MHz Memory (2x 512MB).

I've been getting random BSODs with sometimes valid error information is shown like today, Win32K.sys.

I have an Asus P2PEVM Motherboard and while the timing is set to auto in the bios, the settings are:

CAS: 2.0

RAS# to CAS# 2

RAS# Precharge 2

tRAS 8

Voltage 2.5V

Yet, the specs of the ram when I bought it are: 2, 2, 2, 6.

Would the variance in latency be the cause? 

Thanks

Before we start looking at the memory settings, let's rule out the possibility of a bad module or slot. Try the Ballistix modules one at a time in the first slot to verify that they both work, then test your slots one by one with a known good module as well.

The memory tester we suggest is memtest86+. When you run it on Ballistix, start from a cold boot, and change your BIOS DRAM settings and voltage back down to default or auto values.
