Interesting on the compatibility issue...Well I just ordered a replacement MB and a 4 stick kit of memory. I'll be interested to see if the new memory plays nice with the current board. I'll have the replacement just in case.

Everything looks to be ok. The sticks are 1333. The bios has them listed/running at 1334. Not sure that makes a big enough difference for a failure or not. Of coarse these are the auto settings the mb picked. I didn't change them. Volts are 1.5v. Which is what the chips say they are to run at.

Its a new build. I haven't touched the settings. Everything is set to auto. I haven't overclocked anything, its all stock. The sticks are from my last build I did in 2011, which was a i5 Sandy Bridge 3.3ghz quad. And this one is a 8 core AMD FX 4.0ghz. Motherboards are different. The new one is a Gigabyte 970A-UD3P. I was having an issue with this new system just randomly rebooting and I noticed I had the memory in slots 2&4. So I moved the one from 4 to 1. Now they are in 1&2. I haven't had a reboot in 2 days. System seems ok, but like I said the when both sticks are installed Aida64 fails the memory test. If one is installed its ok. On a side note...How long am I supposed to let the tests go on for? Will they automatically stop?

I am getting a red screen failed test report when using 2 memory sticks. However when I use one stick I do not get the failed test. I have run the windows memory check as well as prime95 and get no fails/errors. Is there really something wrong or is it artificial? Thanks.
