Bad memory module or slot?

[Eiolon]

I am not sure if I have a bad memory slot or not. It would be the second orange slot to run in dual-channel mode. I've been running the system with only 1GB of OCZ memory in it for over a year. When I added a stick of memory into the system it would freeze when it got to the Windows XP login screen. I take the stick out and it works fine. The memory sticks are the exact same.

 

I've ran memtest on it for 2 days now and there are no errors reported yet. Since I bought the memory in pairs I decided to try the other stick out and this time the system will let me into Windows but programs frequently crash.

 

So is the motherboard damaging my memory? Is there a sure-fire way to tell if the slot is bad? Thanks.

 

EDIT: I can put the second stick of memory in the second slot (won't run in dual-channel though) and there are no problems.

Your timings are not correctly set for dual channel operation.

Hello,

 

So you ran memtest on both sticks individually?

 

And they both pass memtest on their own?
