Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 8, 2007 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 8, 2007 First, are you using 4 modules or 2? Are you overclocking at all and have you tested the modules with Memtest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yantorsen Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 I'm not overclocking. I'm running 2 modules. and it is memtest86+ stable. and the ram is running at 1.9v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 8, 2007 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 8, 2007 If it is Memtest stable, I would suspect some issue other than the RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yantorsen Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 it passes orthos, and prime but something is definately wrong with it. I RMA'd everything and got it all back but im still getting the same problems even though the hdd was found to be faulty and replaced. I have loads of screenies of various errors I've had, would it help if i posted them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 When you said that you RMA'd everthing. Can you be more specific about what and when you RMA'd. Have the blue screens always been the same? Have you set the Vdimm higher? Set to 2.0v and retest for crashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the blue screens always been the same? Have you set the Vdimm higher? Set to 2.0v and retest for crashes. RMA'd mb, ram, cpu, and hdd. crashes stopped largely after raising ram volts to 1.9v. but it won't install any games I have like JTF or MTW2, or the UT3 Demo. comes up with errors, usually to do with some file becoming corrupted.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 12, 2007 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 12, 2007 Please try and set the memory voltage to +.3 Volts and see if that will solve the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 As well, with all the crashes you have had, I would suggest a new installation of the OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yantorsen Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 I have tryed new installs tens of times and if I set the ram to 2.1 won't that void the warrenty as it is only supposed to run at 1.9v? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I have tryed new installs tens of times and if I set the ram to 2.1 won't that void the warrenty as it is only supposed to run at 1.9v? Maximum DDR2 recommended VDIMM: 2.1 Volts, so it's within the warranty specs Try swapping parts with a similar system. Perhaps it's the PSU?

yantorsen Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 upped the ram volts to 2.1v, and now I can't get an install at all. I tryed twice I got the following errors, on each go respectively... http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g145/josh2610/SS851380.jpg http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g145/josh2610/SS851391.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 This still seems as though it is a hard drive issue or possibly an optical drive issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garvin Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 After looking over your thread over at overclockers and the error messages you've posted here, I'd be taking a closer look at either the data cable going to the optical drive or the optical drive itself, assuming that D:\ is your Liteon. Some optical drives have a problem reading certain brands of disks. Had to disk dupe a copy of BF2 I'd bought onto a different disk in order to get it to install on my notebook.

yantorsen Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 cheers for the replies guys, I have tried using a different optical drive and different cable for it. D:\ is my optical drive. thinking about it though, the other odd I tried was another lite-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Lite-On Optical drives are pretty good drives. I doubt that you would have both issuing problems, however, you may have a mainboard issue on that interface. Is it SATA or PATA? Can you test a swap of the interface?

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 15, 2007 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 15, 2007 I would try your reseller first and see if they will help you, other wise yes you would have to send it to us here, and how long it will take will depend on how you ship it to us. If you use the British Equivalent of US postal service it may take 15-45 Days. If you use UPS or FEDEX or DHL the average would be about 7-10 Week Days.
