Hi, i am getting desperate of trying to find a solution for my memory problems.
I am using motherboard ASUS P5KC and Intel Core 2 DUO E6550, BIOS updated to last version. All settings in bios are default. Power supply is LC power 550W, and graphics card is XFX 8800GT.
Memory is 2x1gb Patriot extreme.
So what i am experiencing is random memory problems (random because one day i get the a lot, one day i dont get them). Sometimes memtest finds errors, sometimes game is suddenly closed with "unknown" problem, sometimes my USB stuff don't work propery.
I know that memory modules areN'T causing the problems directly because i tried more of them (different). I also tried to change every memory parameter in BIOS and just can get it to work propery. After i tried all this, i figured out that memory modules cant cause those problems directly, so it has to be something else.
Is it motherboard/chipset, is it CPU itself (could CPU even cause memory problems like that?)? So i am completely lost, if i wont be able to solve this problems i will probably buy P5Q pro, hopefully it has different memory support or whatever. But i am afraid that maybe something else is causing the problems.
Anyone experiencing same problems or maybe somebody knows what to do, or have an advice for me about what should i do/try, please tell me, cause i am really getting frustrated of this, specially cause it is for a while like this now.
Thanks a lot to anyone who will help or try to help me!
