Voodoo_3_Guy Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 whenever I turn on my computer with this stick it fails to boot everytime. I used two identical sticks when I did a RAM check I got an absurd number like 498mb should be at least 1gb and my computer failed to boot half the time.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 9, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 9, 2004 Can you tell me the make and model of MB you have along with the CPU speed and it’s FSB as well, and if the memory modules that you have was purchased as a TwinX or set? In addition, please tell me the bios settings you have set for both CPU and memory and any performance settings that you may have set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my bios settings are on automatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 9, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 9, 2004 You mentioned that you have 2 x CMX512-2700LLPT, when you purchased these memory modules; did they came in on one package, or separate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 9, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 9, 2004 Please set the memory frequency at 1-1 or 100% so it's in sync with your CPU. Then set the timings manually to Cass 2-3-2-5 with the Rass to Cass set to "3" and set the Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts then please test the system with http://www.memtest.org.

Voodoo_3_Guy Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 I looked in BIOS but I don't have any of those settings except for the voltage. When I try one stick I get 512mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 12, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 12, 2004 In your SY-KT880 MB BIOS settings; the following options could be found under the SOYO COMBO feature, and under the Advanced Tune-Up settings for the DRAM timing settings.
