afternoon
I also run G.skill memory, I have the "F2-6400CL4D-2GBHK" '4-4-3-5' 2.1v, Im currently runnign it at 1066@ 5-5-5-15, 1GB x4, but I did look at all of the reviews I culd find before overclocking.
Have you checked reviews of your memory, is it capaple of going over stock settings.

I'm having a lot of trouble with this RAM. Memtest86+ spits out lots of errors when I set the frequency to 1002MHz (for some reason the Asus BIOS doesn't give the option of 1000, probably doesn't matter though.) and voltage to either 2.0V or 2.1V. I've set them to 800MHz for the time being.
I've sent in a RMA request with the PC shop from which I bought the modules from, I'll try to get a replacement set for now. If the 2nd set is a dud too, then I'll RMA those and try a Corsair 4GB PC2-8500 set.

yes the bottom end of the market means that these modules are performing to their max frequencies, and even lossening the timing dosent allow them to get any Higher.
And you must be bad luck as 1 set (1Gbx2) died on e last night, which I need to rma with g.skill now... Im thinking I sell both sets and get myself a 4Gb (2x2Gb).

I installed the post-RMA'd replacement RAM today, everything seems to going well.
I set the appropriate BIOS settings (DRAM frequencies and voltages) and then ran Memtest64+ for a few hours. I only received one error in that whole time; with the faulty RAM I was getting loads of errors within ~2 minutes of starting Memtest.

Return those as well. Even one error is too many.

Have you got the ram running at the correct voltage Eva, also try swapping the memory sticks to different slots and running the test again...?

I tried my other two slots and ran Memtest64+ overnight once again, I received the one same error. I've gotten the same results with both 2.0v and 2.1v.

Ok
just speak to the place you originally bought the memory from - G.skill is very good at dealing with rma's etc
