soul_blade_az Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Hi, last Wed. I mounted the CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R on to my asus maximus IV geneZ/gen3 MB and since then my PC has been freezing and rebooting every 30 min or so. Could it be a memory problem? (Windows 7 64bit and latest bios on the MB) Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Test one stick at a time in the same slot using Memtest86+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soul_blade_az Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Ok, I'll try that. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soul_blade_az Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Tested the 2 dimms once at a time in the first slot and the both on the slots I was using and no errors. they are compatible with my MB and the probls started when i installed them, so don't know what's happening. I now changend them to the 1st and 3rd slot. Let's see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soul_blade_az Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 I ran Prime95 blend and large fft and it only ran for under a minute beeing halted by a hardware error. I ran the same testes with my old 2x2Gb DDR3 ********e@1066Mhz and prime95 is still running after 2hours with no errors or warnings. I now really think it's a ram problem. Is it normal not having no errors in memtest and still having issues? I double checked the MB combatability and the part number is listed as combateble. Any advice? should I return it to the store as it I only bought it 3 days ago? Thanks PS: The PC has been running for some time now (with my old ram) and it's stable (no crash or reboots) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 9, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 9, 2012 Have you checked the BIOS is the latest version? You might try and load setup defaults and then enable XMP and retest the modules if that is not what you have done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Yeah I got the latest bios and also tested the modules on default and xmp enabled, but as before, memtest passed ok and prime95 stopes under 1min with hardware error. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soul_blade_az Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hi, I tried again yesterday to run prime95 with both modules and XMP enabled but I changed the speed from the default 1600Mhz to 1333Mhz and no errors. Left the pc running prime95 today while I'm at work to see if there will be any errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soul_blade_az Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 When I got home I had a windows error message on screen saying it had recovered from a error. So the ram kit is not working for me. I might as well return it and buy CMX8GX3M2A1333C9, cuz nothing happens with my 2x2GB DDR3 1066Mhz installed.

soul_blade_az Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 What do you mean the 1066 kit does nothing? It failed too? Sorry for the misunderstanding, I meant that there's no problem with the 1066mhz kit, all works fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soul_blade_az Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Hello, update: so I went and bought the CMX8GX3M2A1333C9 and now the PC everytime I first boot it after about 3 minuts it crashes and reboots, after that all fine. I can't run the windows performance tests, and I can't put the PC in suspend mode, cuz it will crash and reboot. It's really getting my nervs. Any sugestions?

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted June 13, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 13, 2012 I would make sure that you have the latest BIOS version and then install just one module and load setup defaults and set the setting on the side of the modules manually IE Cas 9-9-9-24 1.55 Volts and test them with http://www.memtest.org for at least three passes per module and then do the same for the other module. If they both pass put then back in dual channel and do these steps again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soul_blade_az Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 ok. I'll test that out and let you know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so I updated to the latest BIOS, tested one module-OK, tested the other module-ok, both modules after the 1st pass already had 3 errors.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted June 21, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 21, 2012 Did you test the modules in the second DIMM slot that you are using? If each stick passes in the second DIMM slot as well but still fail in dual channel mode, then the problem may be with the memory controller in the processor, not with motherboard or memory as you isolated those by testing it 1 dimm and 1 module at a time. I would advise testing a new CPU if you can at this point as that may be why you are passing memtest but failing prime95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
