Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 30, 2003 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 30, 2003 1. is my memory unbuffered non-ecc? A: Yes! 2. is the memory damaged? A: Not sure see bellow! 3. or are there any special settings to make in the bios(select by spd,all other memory setting were - auto and memory turbo was disabled were set.bios =award. Yes if you have the memory Freq set to DDR333 and the CPU over clocked as you have listed you are running the memory at about DDR400 and may be why it's fialing. Please set the memory Freq. ratio to 1-1 and see if the memory will pass [url]www.memtest86.com[/url] Or if possible I would test the module with the CPU at defaults and set the memory to run at DDR333 at Cass 2-3-3-6 and test with [url]www.memtest86.com[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Posted December 30, 2003 Author Share Posted December 30, 2003 have already ran the memory with normal cpu speed,but it did'nt matter,same failures. my cpu is a p4-1800 100fsb.the fsb is set to 133,thats why it's running at 2400mhz.normally that does'nt bother the agb-pci and memory because they run at the same speed i think. sdram configuration(by spd) are set to 2-3-3-6 automatically. i don't have a memory Freq. ratio setting in my bios.only can set memory frequenzy and that is set to auto.i also tried 333mhz. my normale memory is from samsung and it work without failure at cpu 2400. i also used a kingston module pc 2100,it worked also.so i think the xms module is damaged. at last i will try the memory test you told me.but now it's 3.30 in the morning here in austria and i'm tired from messing around with my pc the whole day.thanks for the quick response.
