Hi all,

ive got a problem with my system stability.

Just decided to upgrade my dying 4 year old pc in order to play newer games better.

i purchased two sticks of 512mb corsair pc3200xl cas 2225 to increase my ram to 2Gb.

Ok heres my problem, now i have 4 sets of 512mb pc3200xl running my system it will quickly Fail Memtest when i OC the FSB to 240, but will pass if i only use 1gb (2 sticks @ 240) or use a FSB < 220(with 4 sticks).

i originally thought it may be faulty memory, but it looks like it could be power problem, as this memory should overclock further . Has anybody else had a similar problem and knows how to fix it?

im running
p4c800e duluxe
p4 3.2e s478
Corsair cmx3200xl cas 3-4-4-8 @2.75v (512x4)
Antec truepower trio 650w
His radeon x1950pro
2 seagate drives in raid 0
