Corsair TWINX1024-3200C2PT problem

[LIGHT_WEIGHT]

Hiya, all

 

I have a problem like all of you guys :confused: . When I use dual channel on Slot 1 and 3, my computer beeps ( one long beeps ....one long beep.....one long beep....etc)--It doesn't boot.

 

When I switch to slots 2 and 4....I was able to boot up and run MemTest86 3.1a

 

I have a custom built computer with the following components:

Abit IC7 MB (Recent Bios version 26 [10/22/04])

Corsair TWINX1024-3200C2PT 1GB DDR400 XMS3200 Dual-Channel Memory w/Platinum Heat Spreader

Seagate Barracuda 120 Gig SATA HD

Plextor 708A DVD +/- ROM (Recent firmware)

PNY Vertgo 5900 Ultra 256 MB ram

 

I ran MemTest 86 3.1a and here are my results after 6 hours of testing:

Walltime = 6:01:32

Cached = 1024M

RsvdMem = 20M

MemMap = e820-std

Cache = on

ECC = off

Test = std

Pass = 36

Errors = 3

ECC error = 0

 

The next line showed this (in condensed form):

tst = 3

Pass = 24

Failing address = 000331e47a8-817.2 MB

Good = 20202020

Bad = 28202020

Error Bits = 080000

Count = 3 1

 

 

Thae ram that I have has this on the label:

CMX512-3200C2PT

XMS 3200 512 MB 400 MHz CL2

XMS3203v1.2

0328023

 

Here are my settings for the RAM in the BIOS:

DDR Reference voltage (2.7v)

Memory timings (user defined)

SDRAM CAS Latency (2)

SDRAM RAS to CAS delay (3)

SDRAM Active precharge delay (6)

SDRAM precharge delay (3)

 

 

I bought these over a year ago. Do you think I need an RMA?

Please make sure that you have the latest BIOS for your MB and load Setup/optimized default settings, and try the following BIOS settings;

TwinX1024 or TwinX512-3200C2

Softmenu Setup

CPU Freq: 200

DRAM Clock: 400 MHz

CPU/DRAM ratio: 1:1

Memory or Dim Reference voltage: 2.75 Volts

System performance: Standard

AGP Voltage: Default *unless you have ATI 9200 or 9600 then 1.6 Volts suggested!*

Advanced/Chipset

Configure Dram timing by SPD: Disabled/User define

SDRAM CAS Latency: 2T (2.5T AMD Platform)

SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T

SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T

SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6T

SDRAM Burst Length: 8

All other settings should be set to default settings!

Then please test them one at a time with http://www.memtest.org and let’s make sure it's not some other issue! I would run the test for at least 2-3 passes to be sure!

Sorry this might be off the topic of the original thread, but I got a quick question.

 

Ram Guy: I have Asus P4P800 SE, 2.8c, ATI AIW 9600XT, and TwinX3200C2. I noticed that you recommended 1.6v instead of ATI's recommended 1.5v for Radeon 9600. Is there any reason behind this? Do you also recommend 1.6v for the 9600XT version? Thanks (ps: I don't plan on overclocking my GPU)

[RAM GUY]

The default voltage setting for the 9600/XT is 1.5 volts, but the recommended voltage setting for it is 1.6 volts; reason being is the card runs much smoother, and stable.

I did not know that, I think I'll check out my AGP voltage tonight!

RAM Guy,

 

 

I have the latest drivers and bios for my motherboard.

I also have the correct setting for my RAM in the Bios

I do not have an AMD chip so the 2.5 is a 2.

 

I've tried to do what you asked me to do and I still get error on my modules. :[pouts:

 

Dium voltage 2.75

2/3/3/6

AGP voltage is default...I have an NVIDIA 5900 ultra.

 

 

Thanks for your help. Any other suggestions?

Please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it!

Thanks, RAM guy

 

I'll let you know how things end up when I get my RMA

N.P. Please let me know if you have any questions!
