Mage Jubi Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 I've been using twin CMX512-3200C2Pt's in a GA-8IK100 mobo with a P4 3.06-533. It ran great--until I upgraded the CPU to a P4 3.0-800. Instant BSOD's and lockups. Unable to re-install XP Pro too. I found that the memory will not run at it's rated speed of 400. Once set to 333, everything runs smooth again. Any attempt to change voltage settings, or timing always resulted in the ever popular BSOD. Perhaps I had the wrong combo of settings, but it was a definate nogo with settings on "auto". The Cpu is watercooled, and never gets over 32c. Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 25, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 25, 2004 Please make sure that you have the latest bios and then load setup defaults. Then please try and set the timings manually to Cass 2.5-3-3-7 and set the Dim Voltage to +.01 or +.02 volts and see if that does not solve the problem. If not I would try the modules one at a time and test with [url]www.memtest86.com[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mage Jubi Posted January 26, 2004 Author Share Posted January 26, 2004 Hey Ram Guy, thanks for the quick response I checked to make sure the mobo had the latest bios, which it did. Next I ran each module separately with Memtest86. Module 1 ran 1 1/2 hrs. without any error message, and was quite cool to the touch. Module 2 however, had error messages pop up right away, and within 20 min., the module was down right hot to the touch. I never suspected the memory, because it ran so good at 333. The error messages as follows: 0000c156690 ffefffff (good) fffffff (bad) 00100000 (err-bits) 0000d156670 " " " I ran the test several times with the same basic results. Probably needs to be RMA'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
