hey guys, i am having trouble passing windows vista mem test and memtest 86, my computer had been working fine for a while until today. I went to play 2 of my games and both games froze after 2 minutes. I know it is definitely a memory issue. Here are my specs

EVGA 790i ultra mobo
Corshair XMS3 ddr3 1333 memory

timings for memory are 9.9.9.24

Also my prosessor is the e8400 1330 fsb

my mobo glitches and only reads the memory at 1066 and not 1333, when its set to auto.

Please help, thanks
 
Your RAM may just not be stable at those settings. Make sure you set the voltage properly. If you have trying adding .1v and make sure the timings are correct. If it still gives you problems then set every thing to auto. If it's stable on auto then it just doesn't work at the advertised settings. If it's not then you have bad RAM.
