Problem:My ancient machine was feeling strapped for memory so I went looking for an upgrade. I'd always had good luck with the few PNY products I'd purchased before so with that experience and the excellent rating here at amazon I purchased these sticks.<br /><br />I tested the memory with Memtest 86+ for 72 hours just after I installed it so I thought I'd be safe. One month later the system starts to be unstable, I tested the disks and found file corruption (which meant my backups were also corrupt.) I did a short Memtest (2 runs) and had no errors shown. However pulling and testing the disks on a different system had the disks themselves test out perfectly. So I went back and ran Memtest again and low and behold I had intermittent errors that always occurred at the same location but might take up to 8 hours to show up. Unfortunately it's just a few days too late to return them to amazon.<br /><br />Note: the memory was set up at stock (auto detected) settings, no overclocking on cpu or memory.
