SourCe Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Same problem as most of the DRAM error posts. I Just built another computer. This is like my 5th. Just got the GIGABYTE "GA-K8VT800" K8T800 Corsair 512 DDR400 Ram West Digi 80gb HD MGE Case 400watt PSu FX 5200 PCI / ATI 9600 XT O ya and AMD 64 3000+ ( 2.0GHZ ) Connected everything booted and got no screen with the continuous long beep 1 after another ..... its only 1 stick and most of u guys have got the 1 stick working but i cant get even working. Really Bummed and need answers quick plzzzzzz. going to go try my friends DDR ram tommorow. umm if u can help me to even get a bios screen running i would really appreciate it. Should be something minor but not sure. Thanks Reply With Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorganzola Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Best I can recommend is trying another power supply and/or trying to clear the BIOS using the jumper on the motherboard, assuming the Gigabyte board has such an option. Also, although I am sure you have considered it, try different memory slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorganzola Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I have seen this issue either with bad memory or a bad CPU. Since memory is easier to replace let us hope it is only that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 4, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 4, 2005 You should have had a call beck by now, but what you have posted would suggest some other problem. I would try and clear the bios and then see if it will let you enter bios setup and load setup defaults and then set the Dim Voltage to +.2 Volts. If you can I would suggest you test the modules in another system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SourCe Posted January 4, 2005 Author Share Posted January 4, 2005 I will be testing my ram in a friends comp but i called Corsair and spoke to some1 they sed its mobo because i tested Mobo with a meter and all Voltages are correct. But when i called they sed take out ram and boot. And i still got the DRAM Error beeps soo he sed that means its mobo. so i called gigabyte and they no answer hold for like 20 min on a NON TOLL FREE Fone number. but i wrote an email - lets see if they are smart enought to respond. :evil: But how could i tell if its my CPU which im pretty sure its not??

SourCe Posted January 4, 2005 Author Share Posted January 4, 2005 Im not sure how to clear bios and all that stuff when nothing posts and get no screen no nothing. lol mab there is a way but im not sure - if u know tell me plz :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorganzola Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Your manual should have instructions on how to clear the BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 5, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 5, 2005 By the way, what is the exact part# of the module you are using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SourCe Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 The part number is Corsair Value Select 184 Pin 512MB DDR PC-3200 - Retail Model# VS512MB400C3 Item # N82E16820145479 And i clear the BIOS by pulling out the batt for 5 min and i cleared the CMOS Jumper still same issues. My friend thinks it might be my CPU so i might get an RMA and get it REPAIRED by Newegg.com and see what that does for me. If any1 has any possible quick remedies plz tell me because i will be RMAing it back tomorrow :(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SourCe Posted January 5, 2005 Author Share Posted January 5, 2005 Is the batt/ CMOS jumper the way to clear the BIOS.... I havent seen anything in the manual about clearing the BIOS any other way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 5, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 5, 2005 Normally with Giga-Byte you just remove the battery and then there will either be 2 points of solder you short out for about 30 seconds or there will be a jumper BATT/CMOS or CLRTC.
