Seems like the luck wishes didn't help much, at least not for tonight...

I recieved my ram, no questions asked, so it's top quality service. I put it in and immediately cleared the cmos to start with clean settings. Put the timing to Cas 2 setting, 2 3 2 6 , but with 2T instead of 1T, because it does that automatically.

Now after having played gunz for half an hour, my computer reset itself. After it was done getting back to windows I decided to try my luck with Oblivion, but after half an hour it crashed to desktop, and also Spysweeper gave an error message.

What's going wrong here?

Is it the fact I'm letting it run at 2T rather than the 1T it can handle? Or should I simply stick with slower timings?

When I run CPU-Z it gives the following info, see screenshot: At 200mHz, what I'm running it at now, it is 3 3 3 8.

I think it's a mistake made by CPU-Z, or by my mobo giving incorrect info.

Any help here would be appreciated, I'll be doing some more testing, and perhaps lowering the timings, to see what will happen. As long as it will be stable I'm more than happy... but so far I'm not really lucky
