Flawed memorymodule according to memtest86

Hi!

I've used Memtest-86 v3.2 to test my memory becuase World of Warcraft crashed frequently becuse of memory read errors etc.

 

The memtest showed a lot of errors with test 5 (block move, 64moves). I've took out one memory and tested it, 2 errors, switched memorymodule place on my mainbord then 0 (perfect slot). Then i added the other one replacing the one i recently tested and got errors. I've switeched to every slot still errors. Therefor I'm writing this to get help. The BAD from the memtest is "fff3ffff" wich i haven't a clue what it is.

 

The memory wich i bought in a swedish onlinestore http://www.datorbutiken.com said i've should talk to corsair for warrenty.

On the stick the following data exist "CMX512-3200C2 XMS3202v1.2

0330235

XMS3200 512MB 400MHz CL2

"

My motherbord is a Gigabyte GA-8KNXP with I-P4 cpu. Currently my comp. is running on 512MB but i would really like to get back my 1GB ram. I've got annother problem because i can't try the memory in another comp. because the memory doesn't fit the old one.

 

Happy for response and sorry if bad english.

Recheck the ram with the following bios settings:

 

SDRAM Bank cycle time (or tRAS): 6

SDRAM Bank Interleave: 4

SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3

SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay (tRCD): 3

SDRAM CAS Latency: 2

memory voltage: 2.7v - 2.8v

Please make sure that you have the latest bios and then load setup/Optimized defaults and set the Dim Over Voltage Control to +.2 Volts and test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org.

OK, now i've doned 4 test on 2 ports (2 and 5)

First test on port 2 with 0.2v DIMM OverVoltage Controll gave me a total och 1958 errors

Eg. Tst Failing Adress Bad Err-Bits

5 0001e05c68 fff3ffff 00080000

7 0000ab7c6bc cec19a9a -"-

 

with normal v

5 0001a9745a8 fff3ffff -"-

7 0001d35a8b0 ffcfffff errors=42

 

On port 5with 0.2v

5 0001e05c68 fffbffff 00080000

7 0001f45a2a4 64ca72f7 00200000 Errors=1507

 

without 0.2v extra

5 0001bec688 fff3ffff 00080000 Errors=54

 

One question i got now is what is bad = fff3ffff means and err-bitts 00080000 becuase i see this numbers alot on the test.

 

NB that the other memory shows 0 Errors on this ports i used in this test.

And the other suggestion u got to change, can't find where to cange em.
