Ram is not trivial on AMD systems. :) Thanks again for the help ... the RAM was used for about 4 months in a desktop P4 system on an Asus board. It is good RAM, Micron from Crucial. I suppose I must have shocked and killed it moving it, but before this I have never had that happen in 20 years (and I've built many systems.) I've ordered Corsair as a replacement. thanks! Rob Lately, I mounted 2 stick of ram from one MB to a Asus MB with a AMD Athlon 4400, and I got the system either not starting (kernel panic) or, when it started, I soon had bad memory access, and the system would freeze. I put new ram in and everything was OK, except I was frustrated to have lilled the memories. First time it happended to me. Then I tried to put them back in, and I changed the memory voltage in the bios from auto to 2 V. And, guess what, they worked fine, and are still in!!!

The memory may be as good as it was when you received it. It still may work perfectly on the P4. However, the P4 is (most likely) more tolerant of memory being off-spec than an AMD which seems to expect that memory will be at least as good as spec and uses it to its max.
