New Memory Installed (OCZ SLI-Certified DDR2-800)
I just installed my first two gigs of the DDR2-800. I wanted to post a couple of screenshots for you all to see. I selected EPP/SLI configuration in the bios and these are rated at 2.1v but cpu-z shows them running at 1.8-2.0v. Is something wrong or does this seem and look right?I thought DDR2-800 meant it would run at 800mhz, so why does it show it as 400mhz and under?
I tried to play COD4 and my pc froze up and I had to reboot it and I removed the DDR2-800 ram. If the new bios update enables the XPS 710 mainboard to support DDR2-800, why would my system just crash with it installed?
Do I need to get DDR2-800 ram rated at 1.8v ?

U don't need to buy another set, just test ur ram with memtest86+ v2.01 individually and in set (dual channel). If errors occur, they will give u free exchange.

download, and burn a bootable disk.

I download and burned memtest to disc with Windows built in burning wizard and all I got was "No boot device available, no matter which drive I put the disc in. I've tried running two of them simultaneously from the desktop, each testing 768mb each, and it crashed my computers both times I tried.
Needless to say, I am VERY, VERY ticked off about this because I can't return this where I purchased it from so I'm stuck with ram that I can't use or even TEST!!!! :manmad:
