RAM error
Hi. I just got done with building my new PC and kept on getting blue screens when I tried installing Vista x64. I ran memtest overnight, which found several errors in the 4000-5210MB region of the memory. So I tested the sticks individually (2 passes), and this time they both passed with zero errors.

My question is that has this sort of thing been encountered before? Should i RMA the RAM? My hunch is that this is maybe caused by the motherboard and dual channel memory? I guess I'll try to install vista on just one stick, and then stick the second one in once vista 64 is installed...

I'm using 2x2GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 RAM running at stock voltages and timings (having gotten a chance to OC them yet)

My Specs:
Q6600
4 GB Corsair DDR2
Nvidia 9800 GTX+
EVGA 123-YW-E175-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI
WD VelociRaptor 300 GB
