I have been using a pair of 512MB Mushkin Level II V2 memory in my computer for the last couple of years. When using this memory the computer automatically selects 2-2-2-6 as the correct timings and all is well.
About a month ago I purchased 2 sticks of Mushkin memory. I don't know what the exact model of the sticks are only that they are Winbond BH-5 sticks and the sticker from Mushkin says 2-2-2 on them.
Now, when I run this new memory (new to me, was purchased from a member here) the computer automatically selects 2.5-3-3-8 as the correct timings. And indeed, the computer runs stable at those settings. If I manually make them faster, the computer blue screens shortly after booting to Windows if it even makes it that far.
For about the last month, I had been running the memory with some manual settings and it's been fine... UNTIL I started playing HL2 and now TF2. I can't get these 4 sticks of memory to play nice together no matter what I do. I even tried manually setting 2.5-3-3-8 in the BIOS to see if that would work... still no go.
I did run some memory tests and everything checked out!
Please help!
