I have the system specified in my signature. With the memory set to its proper speed and timings, I suffer some errors in Memtest86+ (one error for every two or three passes and each time, a different address fails). According to Memtest86:
IMC: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 (ECC : Disabled)
Is ECC a property of the processor or the memory? I cannot find a place to activate it from within the BIOS. Might it solve my problem?
I can run the memory at 1333 MHz without errors, but I would like to run it at its proper 1600 MHz, if possible.

hi,
You need to use ECC memory, and it's very expansive.
Did you put the good voltage memory & timming in the MIT item ?

Yeah, the DRAM voltage is set to 1.65 and the timings to 8-8-8-24. When I set the timings to AUTO (11-11-11-24), then errors occur less frequently (affter nine passes, there was one error during pass 7). There are a number of other memory timings but I left them at their default AUTO values
