I had these problems with DDR2 stuff in the core2 generation of 
processors, with the 3 and 4 series chipsets (P45, H3x, etc).   I don't 
recall the specific Ballistix, but it was supposedly faster (higher 
clock rate and lower CAS timing) than the 'standard' ram for those 
chips.   It failed erratically, after a year+ of stable running at the 
standard speeds, but in two different cases (different systems, boards, 
and memory) it would  pass a 24 hour memtest even when running at 
'overclock' rates (I test at conservative overclock speeds as well as 
normal, then run at stock speeds, presuming this gives me good margins).
