Hello
Here is my hardware :
E6600 + P5N32E SLI (BIOS 1101) + 2xDDR2 1Gb CL4 Corsair (2.1v)
Video : 8800 GTX
Vista 32 bits (frequently windows updated, drivers nVidia updated)
No overclocking.

I have frequent Blue Screens or hard reboots when i play 3D games (FSX and
rFactor).
And when i try to use only one DRR2 (no dual channel mode), it works fine.
So i think my troubles might come from the dual channel mode...

What can i do?
Modify voltage? (i use default values expected for DDR2 overloaded at 2.1
volts).
My Northbidge voltage seems too low : 1.34 volts (measured by Probe).

Any other ideas? thanks a lot.

Did you run memtest86 with both sticks in? Do you have any errors?

I had a set of OCZ which worked 100% fine by themselfs, but in dual channel
mode I ran into issues. I had everything manually set (voltage, timings,
etc) and nothing helped. I ended up buying a set of kingston and it worked
fine in dual channel mode - so I sent the OCZ back.

MemTest86 no error during 48 hours in dual mode

May be it is what i should do with my Corsair... Are you sure we can sent
back rams without any reason?
