Pling Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hi, New to the forums and would just like to know i have some corsair Corsair Vengeance 2 x 4 GB 8GB Total 1600MHz Ram which is over a year old. I am getting faults with them causing the computer to crash. The question i would like to know is i no longer have the receipt as the company i bought them from (Comet). Closing down so unable to recover an invoice i am wondering will this be a problem in trying to get these repaired or should i just start looking to buy some replacement ram now.

NTCosa Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Did you purchase online? If so, does your e-mail have any sort of confirmation? Or was Comet a store front you went into? You should always keep receipts in a safe place for anything that is under warranty. I have had Corsair ask me for the receipts or invoice before, and I have also had them not ask for them and just process the RMA regardless. Did you run Memtest and did the RAM fail within the test? Are you sure they are running at correct speeds? A lot of motherboards will run RAM at 1333MHz even though it's rated for 1600MHz. Have you tried changing settings in BIOS to run RAM at appropriate speeds? Good luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pling Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 I have tried running at different speeds tried changing it to a spare motherboard from another machine what is happening is some sort of short, where at random intervals the blue screen of death comes up and the error code keeps telling me that their was a failure in primary memory, looking that up it shows that is slow 1 and 2 on my mother board with secondary memory being slots 3 and 4. I haven't run Memtest as didn't know that was a diagnostic test, thought it was more of a over clocking test. I bought it in store but because they printed on cheap thermal paper rather than a proper inkjet paper the receipt has completely faded away, the only thing that makes me think it is that receipt is the date and the large price i paid.

NTCosa Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Ok.. I see.. if it failed with a second motherboard it's most likely going to be the RAM. Hopefully Corsair will honor the warranty without receipt. Again good luck to you Pling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pling Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 The only other thing it could be is that the second motherboard was also tested within a work environment and i believe that the motherboard is set to an over clock spec unfortunately due to nature of my work i can't really take this machine off line to reset for me my livelihood is all online the only thing i can think of is maybe testing on a store bought computer but might take a while. Can anyone provide me with any information on why the memory would fail randomly sometime it works for a period of time and then fail and sometimes not at all. Could it be a software issue contributing to this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I definitely suggest Memtest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pling Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 But what are the odds that if the ram are the problem that i can get them replaced despite the fact that i don't have the receipt anymore. Would i have better luck at buying new ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Only a customer service person can make that decision. Once you file a support ticket using the link, they will tell you the options and requirements. Again, if you have not tested with Memtest, I suggest you try it first.

Again, PLEASE address your RMA questions in a support ticket. Only CSG can give you the appropriate answers for these types of questions. It is all processed and handled thru the support ticket system. ::pirate:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
