Try adjusting the timing as noted on this thread. Maybe slower settings |
| 20 |
work better, even if they are below SPD. Also look at the voltages (most |
| 21 |
BIOSes show them). If they are considerably off, this could affect your |
| 22 |
RAM. A bad power supply is always a suspect when something breaks. |
