darn well there is something funny with that ram just not sure what ,I only did the memtests like you suggested and no errors so I tried to add the corsair ram back in but it would only boot up to the login screen then freeze again. I then pulled the coraire ram out and just ram the 4gb of the OCZ and it booted normal ( with the voltage upped .2) so then I decided to add in 2 1 gb sticks of OCZ ram ( pc2 6400) and tryed to reboot and the same thing happened . which seems strange to me because the only two differences in the ram where the size and the timings. I pulled the 2 ( 2 gig) ram sticks and put the Corsair back in with the 2, 1 gb OCZ sticks and rebooted and it runs fine. so obviously the OCZ 2gig sticks don't play nice with any other sticks that I have. how do I RMA this ram that I bought from NCIX?
