Please help. I have spent many hours trying to get this G.Skill 2x2GB (F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK) to work at the rated timing of 5-5-5-15 on my Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 motherboard. I set the Vddr to +0.25V (measures 2.08V in the BIOS). I set the timing to 5-5-5-15 with all subtiming settings at Auto. I run Memtest+ v2.01 at DDR2 1066 speed and I get errors. I tried running at DDR2 800 speed at 5-5-5-15 and also got errors, although they were less frequent. These errors usually occur in Test #6 but sometimes in Test #2 or Test #4 as well. These errors are always the same at bit 00008000, but the locations in memory do jump around.
I thought that perhaps one of the modules was faulty so I tried swapping the modules but the error remained the same at bit 0008000. I also tried the 2<SUP>nd</SUP> set of DIMM sockets on the motherboard and again got the same errors. When I set the modules to SPD they default to 5-7-7-20 at DDR2 1066 speed and they run without error. I tried 5-6-6-18 at DDR2 1066 speed and still get Memtest+ errors.
I thought it odd that I also get errors at DDR2 800 speed at the DDR2 1066 rated 5-5-5-15 timing, so I suspected my motherboard. I picked up a cheap pair of OCZCPU
