I'm not sure if this is the right forum section as I'm new here, so apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place.
A few days ago I noticed that I had severe errors in memtest86+
I was running 3gb of unbranded ram on Asus A8N32-SLI DELUXE. RAM was 3x1GB DDR-1 DELTA (says 94v on back of them) all three same make and model.
Always had problems with BSOD just that this was the first I've had time to read about the cause and actually investigate it.
I tested all three sticks of ram, individually using memtest86+ and testing them in different memory slots. ALL OF THEM reported errors on test 6, no matter what slot they were in. We're talking 1200 errors minimum.
Well, I thought it must be due to cheap RAM, ordered Kingston which arrived this morning, the exact same RAM model number as recommended on the mobo manual ("KVR400X64C3A/1G).
It's not good news though! I plugged in the two new sticks to the two brown slots and booted up in Memtest86 v.211 mode.
As usual, Test #6 returns 800 or so red errors and test #7 returns another 400 errors... I usually switch off before test #8 but I've noticed it's stuck at test #7 Test 3% Pass 64% and wont budge further.
My BIOS settings are defaulted as well.
Does anyone here have any idea what can be causing this? My PC crashes sometimes 15 times a day :-(
Been looking in BIOS and can't see how or what to set the RAM voltages too etc as I an no expert in BIOS settings. Any help would be hugely appreciated

RAM DATASHEET:

As you can see from the datasheet, it doesn't say what settings I need to use for things like "MemClock Mode" "Memclock Value" "MCT Training Mode" "CAS Latency (CL)" "TRAS" "TRP" "TRCD" "TRRD" "TRC" "TRFC" "TRWT" "MCT Extra Timing Mode" "TREF" "TWCL" "R/W Queue Bypass Count" "Bypass Max" "Idle Cycle Limit" "Dynamic Idle Cycle Centre" "DDR Driving Strength" "User Config Mode" "Read Preamble" "Asyc Latency" "Burst Length" "Hardware Memory Hole"
The only one of these mentioned in datasheet is TRFC and datasheet says 70ns (min) whereas BIOS doesn't have this setting, it has 9T to 23T
Help me please??
