Dell Optiplex GX270 (SFF) & Corsair VS1GBKIT400C3

A while ago I purchased (from Newegg) a couple of 1GB Memory Module Kits for the Dell Optiplex GX270's we have here. Recently I've been getting a lot of blue screens in Windows XP. Each blue screen reports something different, so I decided to test the RAM using memtest86.

 

Here are the results of the tests:

 

1. Both modules installed:

Errors on Test 5.

 

2. Each module tested seperately:

No errors.

 

3. Tried a different VS1GBKIT400C3 kit:

No errors.

 

Here are the specs as reported by memtest:

System - P4

Chipset Intel i848/i865 (ECC: Disabled) FSB-200Mhz - PAT: Disabled

Settings RAM-200Mhz (DDR 400) CAS 3-3-3-8 / Dual Channel (128bits)

 

I'm thinking that memory is defective. I remember purchasing this memory because I thought that it was compatible with the GX270. Let me know if you need any more information. I'd like to get a replacement if possible.

I received the replacement RAM, and have installed it in the machine. I ran memtest86 without errors, but I'm getting random blue screens that say "IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL." I do not get these messages with the original RAM that came from DELL.

 

I also have 3 other computers (Dell GX270's) that are using the exact RAM that I'm having the problem with. Any suggestions as to the cause?

 

Thanks.

Can you test the modules in another system?
