Denzil Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 After a long battle with my new machine. Symptoms were. Stable 3D Games etc. But unstable 2D spreadsheets, browsing, emails, etc. I finally tracked it, with the help of this site, to a faulty module that constantly failed Memtest-86 test 7 with 2000+ errors. My system is a K8V-SE-deluxe with AMD64 3400+ The manufacturer installed Twinx1024 (CMX512-3200C2PT) The long and short of the arguments with the manufacturer is I opened the case to check the memory so they say I broke it :( So my question is. I have one good module and one duff module. 1)Do I buy another CMX512-3200C2PT and will it work with the existing module? 2)Do I buy another Twinx1024 and dump the working module? 3)Finally if I bought another Twinx1024 (They currently seem to be cheaper than buying singles?) could I use my working module to get 1.5Gb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 None of the above. You should get an RMA and just RMA them both to Corsair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denzil Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 Thank you for your generous offer. But my computer wasn't built by a company that is listed on your site. It was Mesh Computers in the UK. So I am unable to take advantage of your warranty. That's why I wanted to know what to buy as a replacement or supplement to my remaining working module. This time though I will purchase my new memory from either Scan or DABS in the UK (who are listed on your site) so I can make use of your warranty if I have any further problems in the future. So I'm afraid my question still stands, can I make use of my remaining module or do I have to discard it and replace everything as a matched set?

Wired Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Your memory has 2 warranties, the time limited one by Mesh, as well as a lifetime warranty by Corsair. No need to buy extra memory. They don't have to be listed on the site to be covered under their warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
