liviu.mirea Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hello, I have two Dominator TWIN2x1024-8500C5D kits installed on a Asus P5Q Pro motherboard and they seem to be failing in Memtest. After only a few minutes I get an error at address "000a2d68808". I've read on this forum that I should try increasing the voltages since I have 4 memory cards, so that's what I did. The defaults are 1.8v DRAM, 1.2v FSB Termination, 1.1v NB. I've tried 1.86/1.26/1.16, 1.9/1.28/1.18 and 1.94/1.32/1.22. I get an error at the exact same address - "000a2d68808". Also note that Windows 7 64bits keeps giving BSODs every now and then. What should I try next? I'm afraid to set higher voltages without some expert advice. Or maybe the memory is defective? System specs are: Asus P5Q Pro motherboard (with the latest bios - 2102) Enermax 525W PRO 82+ 2x Dominator TWIN2x1024-8500C5D (two dual channel kits) Intel Quad Core 2 Q6600 Gainward GeForce 9600GT All other voltages and memory timings are set to their default (auto). Oh, and see the attached screen shots. Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liviu.mirea Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Well, problem solved, sort of. I tried everything including lowering them to 667mhz. Then I tested them one by one and found out that one of the modules is defective. The address at 278.1MB always gives an error. I also tested it on different slots, same thing. Screen shot attached. Good thing I have warranty. I'll be returning them soon. Just out of curiosity, isn't it strange to have just one single bit defective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 1, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 1, 2009 The part number should be Twin2x2048-8500C5D for that part if they are all one gig modules and you would need to get the set that matches replaced. Let's get them replaced, please use the On Line RMA Request Form and we will be happy to replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
