I have 2 pairs of modules that don't work together, What do I do ?

[Guest]

I have 2 pairs of RAM modules;
1. OCZ Gold Edition (2x512MB)
(PN:OCZ4001024ELDCGE-K)(http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_el_ddr_pc_3200_dual_channel_gold)

2. Samsung (2x512MB) (M368L6423ETM-CCC)
(http://www.samsung.com/Products/Sem.../UnbufferedDIMM/M368L6423ETM/M368L6423ETM.htm)

I have an Intel D875PBZ motherboard. These 2 pairs don't seem to work
together. If I use all 4 modules at once they don't work. My computer keeps
restarting at random times & after the restart I get an error message saying
the computer has just recovered from a serious error & windows has made an
error report and stuff. However when I use either one of the pairs it works
fine without any problems. I have increased the voltage to the maximum my
motherboard allows which is 2.775V & I have disabled ECC. Anything else I
could try out ?
Oh & I downloaded this memory test from www.memtest.org & when I ran the
test with all 4 modules installed I got a failed test #5. However when I ran
the test with either one of the pairs installed (only 2 modules) the test ran
fine. Maybe that could help to find out what I could try so ya.

Thanks for any help.

You have a mis-matched pair of memory modules.

For best results all memory modules should be from the same manufacturer.

Ok, I'll keep that in mind for the future but what do I do now that I already
have these 2 pairs. I cannot really return either to the seller cause they're
old now & past the return day. Any suggestions ?

Re-sell them on eBay. Be specific in regards to what the modules
are, allowing potential buyers to make the proper determination
as to whether or not they will work in their systems.

Ok but does this mean that no pair of OCZ Gold Edition RAM modules will work
with the Samsung modules or is it that this 'certain' pair will not work with
the Samsung modules ?
