First let me say that DSO has been great through my troubles.  I got my new machine about 2 weeks ago and now it is up and running smoothly.  The video card was fried when I got it and a new one was promptly sent and works great.  1 of my corsair 2 GB 1333 RAM cards was bad per memtest so I ran on 2 GB until I got the replacements.  Now one of those is bad as well.  I have 4 GB running now with 1 card from each shipment.  That is a 50% failure rate.  I know all hardware components have issues, but this is ridiculous.

That on corsair, I have been told in this forum before that they do have higher failure rate then ocz.

Watching this things, I have gone from wanting corsair to ocz.

the same-thing could have happened if you build your own PC with the same exact 2 sticks of ram.

good news is that no matter how many time corsair wants to pull this stunt, your ds warranty will cover you

Yes, but this should have NOT happened in the first place! Isn't DSO supposed to catch bad RAM and GFX card when it's running it's 72 hr burn-in!?!?
 
I would consider this to be completely unacceptable if it happened to my rig.

Not sure how DS is responsible for the ram working during testing and not working after you running it a few days.

If it happens for the third time then something might be wrong with the mombo or something but if it didn't act-up during testing, what do you want them to do?

Is the RAM OC'd, or not?
 
RAM does tend to go once and a while; twice is unusual, but not unheard of.
 
 
Seriosuly, you're all lucky you missed the days where you had to map around bad sectors on your HDD...
