Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 5, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 5, 2009 Please do not double post and post the same post in multiple threads! Please make sure that you have the latest bios and load setup defaults and then set the memory Voltage to 2.1 Volts then set the timings manually to the tested settings for the specific module you have, and test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org to be sure one is not failing. If you still get errors, please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it! However, if you get errors with both modules that would suggest some other problem and I would test them in another system or MB to be sure. In addition, with some MB's (Mostly ASUS) you have to disable legacy USB in the bios when running any memory test. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 6, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 6, 2009 You should get the ISO image and burn it to CD and boot the system with the memtest CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tspmi888 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 ramguy noted.. what i did was simple enough.. i got this friend of mine who sold me a diff brand of ram 4b 800 mhz.. and from the time i installed it sunday till now( more than 48 hours)..it hasnt bsod.. while w the corsair ram, the pc wud crash after 3 to 4 hours.. from nov 1 to 7, maybe more than 20 times.. so i guess the problem lies the memory since i didnt change anything else.. i will try to test the corsair with another pc.. but since i live in general santos city ( hometown of boxing champ manny pacquiao) in the southen phils,, im not so sure if there will be pcs like me avail for test>> ( one trip to the best computer shop here wud tell me that my rig is the best in my town).. bec i usually go to hk and singapore to get the components and have the local shop install it for me.. as for the ram.. ill safekeep it for the moment.. but i wud be glad to send it to the nearest corsair support center near philippines so u can have it checked.. dex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Test one stick at a time using Memtest v4.00, as it could be an issue with the system not liking the memory @ 1066, whereas running the memory @ 800 may work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This memory will not run on the same voltage setting as PC6400 memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
