    How is your system running now and if it has been resolved please tell us what brought stability. Thanks.

    after i first realized the ram was wierd, i switched the slots, it was fine for about a week , switched the slots again fine for about a couple days. now, with 2 sticks i bsod within 5 minutes of boot up. only thing that brings stability is having 1 stick. it runs fine with one stick, like it did when i just built it. when i first built it it ran with the same 2 sticks for about 2 months until my first bsod. as stated b4 i can switch between sticks without problem, but running with both sticks crashes my system within 5 minutes of boot up

    i added the second stick and it worked for about 2 days until another bluescreen. Now my comp wont even boot up. It gets stuck at the abit screen that says "Press TAB to show POST screen,DEL to enter SETUP".
    The error post code (52) says Test all memory (clear all extended memory to 0). Am I supposed to remove the Ram sticks? I've tried clearing the cmos 5 times and it still wont start. What am i supposed to do?

    Please list your system specs in your profile. I want to look at your hardware and the OS you are running and anything else you can supply.

    Remove one RAM stick and see what happens. OCZ makes some great RAM but is your Abit board and this RAM compatible? What is Abit's recommendation?

    I am also wondering if your mobo is setting this RAM at a different voltage than what OCZ specifies. Check out voltages and see if it matche the right voltage to your mobo.

    Thanks for keeping us up-to-date. I sure hope this works for you because you have worked long and hard to rectify your issue.

    It has BSODed on the 2 setting, now changing it to 2.1.
    Thanks for sticking with me for so long.
    In setup, when setting the RAM voltage, do you have to double the voltage if you have two sticks?
    For example, does setting the voltage at 2 give 1 volt to each stick or does it give 2 for each stick?

    The 2.1 setting does not work either.
    Now my computer crashes with one stick .

    Post your latest minidumps. Your board and your RAM are both of good quality.

    Sometimes, it doesnt BSOD but instead the monitor claims it gets no signal from the computer and i just get a blank screen with the notice that there is no signal detected.

    Attached dumps r all today
