Ok, I bought 3 sticks of the 512MB pc3200 (runs as low as pc2100) for $16 AR from Circuit City the other day (1 was special order which i just picked up the other day finally).. When I had the first 2 sticks in my computer everything ran fine.. but when i put the 3rd in, and ran cpu-z i got all sorts of the errors.. upwards around 3000 before i finally stopped the test.. with just the 2 sticks there were no errors.. so, i thought it was a bad stick of RAM.. i returned it, and reinstalled the new 3rd stick and the same thing happened.. i also tried switching the sticks around but its still full of errors.. is it likely i got ANOTHER bad stick? or something else.... the specs of my computer are AZZA p4x4-alh Motherboard (i know i know what the hell is azza), 2.5ghz, 1GB pc3200 ram (running at pc2700 - the fastest my motherboard will go), 2 200gb HD, 1 DVDrw, 1DVDROM, ati 9500 128mb VC.. please help.. thanks very much in advance..
check for bios upgrades from motherboard site. try combiations of 2 sticks of ram so that all 3 are tried. try 1 stick of ram to test each ram slot. download & run memtest http://www.memtest86.com/
