Grifler Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hi. I know there's a lot of questions about this, but then again, this is the forum for it :) I've just bought a new system: Core 2 Duo 3Ghz, 8400 Asus 8800GTS + Fal1ty coolier TWIN2X4096-6400C4DHX (2x2GB kit) Asus P5K/EPU mb 500GB Western Digital harddrive, 7200rpm ThermalTake 700W PSU, Tough power But it doesnt work now. I had it up and running the entire tuesday with Vista Business 64bit. I played Crysis and Call of Duty 4 the most of the day, no problems at all. But yestoday it started haging...A LOT! I couldnt restart it from windows and had to force it with the reset button. Now it has come this far, that it cant boot at all. I have quick formated it now from BartPE and I'm running Checkdisk on it. But it's really slow! I tried to format it from WinXP cd earlier, but took 2 hours to get to 71% format! :( So my question is, could it be the ram and motherboard that doesnt go together? I have looked in ur testsection, and it seems to work, but mine doesnt. I'm thinking the harddrive might be with errors - but I'm not sure. Hope u guys can help me out.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 24, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 24, 2008 Please make sure that you have the latest Bios version and then load setup/optimized defaults and set the Dim Voltage to 2.1 volts (+.3 Volts W/Giga-Byte) and then set the timings manually to the tested settings for the specific module you have, or if you have Value Select "BY SPD" and then test the module/'s one at a time with http://www.memtest.org! If you still get errors, please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it! However, if you get errors with both modules that would suggest some other problem and I would test them in another system or MB to be sure. In addition, with some MB's (Mostly ASUS) you have to disable legacy USB in the bios when running any memory test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
