tonytol Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Hi, I built my PC just before Christmas, and everything has been ok until today, when I got 'system failed memory test' message repeatedly at start-up and the PC wouldn't boot. Tried re-seating everything, and still the same message. I got the board to work with 1 stick, then the other, but not both at the same time. Other than the original bios setup, when 'cool & quiet' was turned off and the DDR voltage set to 2.70 as recommended here, I've not changed any bios settings. PC has worked fine until now, all temps are low, and the only other changes I've made are to bloat the drive with more software. Any ideas/next steps?

tonytol Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 I have cleared CMOS, updated the chipset & bios to latest version & tried various combos of memory. Single stick of either works fine, but not 2 together in the 'blue' slots, still will not post. However, they work fine together in the 'black' slots, but I'm obviously worried that they will fail again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 14, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 14, 2006 Sounds like either CPU is failing or maybe PSU. Can you try another PSU? There have been a few having trouble with the PSU you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
