leonue Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I have just replaced my ram module for a CMX1024-3200PRO stick. And my machine keeps rebooting. Do I need to change some paremeters on the BIOS? This the only module that I have. And I didn't upgrade or change anything else. Before I bought it I check the compatible modules at Corsair's website, and this one was in that list. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 What are your memory timings set to? Also, is there any reason your text is so big, visual problems perhaps? If not, then I'll reduce it to normal size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 28, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 28, 2004 I would try and manually set the timings to the tested settings and set the Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts then please test with http://www.memtest.org to be sure. In addition, I would make sure that you have the latest bios as well. If you still have problems, the detailed spec of your system may help isolate the cause.

leonue Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 What timings should I set? I mean what values. I have restored the safe-mode values on the BIOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 28, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 28, 2004 Dim Voltage 2.7X Volts SDRAM CAS Latency: 3T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 8T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonue Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 I'm sorry I can't answer by email anymore but I've some problems with that. Well I loaded the optimized default settings and the I tried the settings you told me. Here are the results of the program(http://www.memtest.org) : -CPU freq: 133 (Same as the optimezed value). Many errors -DRAM Clock: 333Mhz. Maximum value 200Mhz. 8 errors and then got halted. -DIM reference voltage: 2.75V. That value is not available so I tried 2.7V. Got halted -System performance. My pc's BIOS doesn't this option. -AGP Voltage: I left the optimezed value 1.5V -CAS: 2T. Machine didn't boot up just beeped so I left on 2.5T -tRCD:3T (Same as the manual value). Pass 2, Errors 71 -tRP: 3T (Same as the manual value). Pass 2, Errors 71 -tRAS: 6T. Pass 1, Tst6, Errors 22 -SDRAM Burst Length: 8 (same as the optimized value) Maybe you would like check the manual at ftp://ftp.fica.com/manuals/motherboards/VIA/VIA%20P4PB%20400%20series/P4PB 400_Manual_v1.0.zip I am looking forward for your answer.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 1, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 1, 2004 Your settings are too agressive for the module you have: Please set them like this: CPU freq: 133 -DRAM Clock: 333Mhz. -DIM reference voltage: 2.7V. -CAS: 3T -tRCD:3T -tRP: 3T -tRAS: 8T -SDRAM Burst Length: 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
