alejandro palac Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Mi PC: Motherboard: - AK8N E DELUXE(ASUS). Processor: - AMD ATHLON 64 3200+ Memory: - 2 CMX512 3200PT XMS3200v4.1 Drives: - Plextor PX-712A DVD RECORDER - DVD LG 16x - CD BURNER LG 52X32X52 SOUND: - SOUND BLASTER AUDIGY 2 ZS VIDEO: - ATI RADEON 9600 128MB - MSI TV ANYWHERE WITH REALTIME MPEG-4 ENCODING SUPPORT PCI-TV TUNNER CARD HARD DISK: - 2 SATA SEAGATE BARRACUDA 200 Gb. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: 15 days ago I was working with two modules of "SPECTEK 512MB PC2700" AND "VDATA 256 MB PC 2700", all work fine with "Windows XP Profesional 32" (legal copy) all devices worked perfect. A week ago I bought 2 modules of corsair CMX512 3200PT. I only installed the 2 corsair memory but When I turn on my pc, a voice said ("System fail VGA cast"), and the monitor didn't start. Everything in the computing was working by default so I tried to restart my PC but the voice kept sayng "system fail. VGA cast". Then I tried resettin the BIOS en turning on the computer and the windows system worked but after a few seconds the windows reseted (after showing the desk ). After this the computer kept restarting after it try to enter windows. I try reinstalling windows XP but th process copy failed again and again. The windows showed several errors: 1. "Memory management stop 0x00000010 (0x00041284, 0x011e5001, 0x00003c02, 0xc0503000). 2. "NTFS.sys" 3. "List Corrupted" and never installed the windows. I installed the windows again with the old memories (the friend of mine. spectek and vdata) configured it and made a BIOS actualization to the 1005 version. Then I reviwed all posibles solutions in the RAM Guy forum and found that I can configure the memory at 2.5,3,3,6 OR 2.5,3,3,7 OR 2.5,3,3,8 so I tried all and the pc never installed windows correctly. Always with the same errors using the two corsair modules at the same time. I tried changing the corsair memories position to different slots like this: 1. Slot 1 and 2 2. Slot 2 and 3 3. Slot 1 and 3 but it didn´t work either. I used a memtest X86 Version 3.0 and both of them work 100% fine (corsair memories). I proved the two corsair memories in a MCI KT6Delta pc in a turbo and ultra options at 2.5,3,3,6 and the main test showed errors in the second corsair module when the test was at 56% inclusive changing the position of the modules in the slots. Finally I configured my PC with 2.5,3,3,6 but using only a single corsair memory and my pc worked perfectly (inclusive the peripherals). How can I make the two memories function at the same time and install windows xp profesional correctly? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Did both sticks work seperate from each other but not together? Were they bought as a TwinX pack? What is the version # of each stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 8, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 8, 2004 Please put the memory module on slot 1 & 3; make sure that you have the latest BIOS for your MB, and set the following settings on your BIOS; TwinX512 or TwinX1024-3200C2 Advanced Chipset: Memclock Mode: Limit Memclock Value: 2:1 (DDR400) Bank Interleaving: 4/Enabled Burst Length: 4 SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.5T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T Hypertransport: 4X Jumper Free/Frequency Voltage Control: Spread Spectrum: Enabled CPU FSB Clock: 200 DDR Voltage: 2.7/2.75 Volts AGP Voltage: Default *unless you have ATI (9200 or 9600) or NVIDIA (5200 or 5700) then 1.6 Volts suggested!* 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!

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 8, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 8, 2004 Please try it at that setting, if not try to set it at 2.5/3/3/7 with 2.8/2.85 volts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejandro palac Posted November 9, 2004 Author Share Posted November 9, 2004 hello. I am not sure if you read my pc configuration because: 1. asusk8ne deluxe doesn´t have a option to change burst length:4 2. asusk8ne deluxe doesn´t have a option to change bank interleaving: 4/enabled 3. asusk8ne deluxe doesn´t have a option to change spread spectrum:enabled 4. My ATI is 9600 radeon with 1.5 volts default. 5. My board (asus k8ne-deluxe) doesn´t have 2.8/2.85 volts options. It only has 2.5 or 2.6 or 2.7 volts if I want to try. I am no sure if there is a solution in wich i don´t have to change the volts on my MB and my AGP because i am afraid that it migth cause a damage in my PC . I dont have enough money to make experiments in such a expensive MB and Memories. There is another solution to my problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Setting the memory voltage to 2.7 is well within the specs of the memory and memory slots, and in fact the memory is warrantied up to 2.9v, so no worries there. Generally if they give you a setting in the BIOS for voltage it is within safety specs. The 1.6v is suggested for AGP slots with that card because of the occasional stability issues with them.

Yesterday i tried the 2.5,3,3,6 CAS and 2.5,3,3,7 CAS at memory voltage to 2.7 and 1.6v suggested for AGP slots with that card but it only work a time. Then windows restart again and again . I have the latest BIOS for my MB. It is not the problem. The computers works fine with a single corsair module but if I put the two same modules at 1,2 or 2,3 or 1,3 slots the windows restart when the desktop appear.. What can i do??

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 11, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 11, 2004 The memory frequency should running at 200 MHz for the actual clock frequency. DDR is or stands for double data rate so DDR400 would be running at 200 MHz X 2 = 400 DDR. Please make sure that your MB is showing the DDR frequency or the actual clock frequency. You can verify this with http://www.memtest.org as it will show the DDR Frequency. In addition, with this MB please make sure that you have the FSB Jumper set to pins 2-3 as well.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 12, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 12, 2004 That might suggest a problem with the MB, if you have not done a fresh install of on this system I would try a fresh FDISK,Format and install of the O.S.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 3, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 3, 2004 Yes we have, they just need to be in slots 1-3 or 2-3 and set the Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts and the timings according to the module part# you have.
