Jshepherd Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I have 2 of these and my friend has one. I started getting reboots and lockups and by process of elimination we were able to find out which stick is bad and we can repeatedly cause either of our computers to lock up and restart by using this stick. It is about a year old from mwave.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 19, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 19, 2004 Can you tell me the CPU speed and it’s FSB as well? 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...
Jshepherd Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 200 fsb 11x multipler xp3200. no overclocking. Memory timing 2-3-3-6. Like I mentioned it works perfectly fine with 3 other different cmx512 3200c2 sticks. It is only when I use this one in any combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 22, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 22, 2004 Please make sure that you set the jumper on your MB from the default 1-2 to 2-3 and 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 CPU Freq: 200 MHz (400 FSB) System Performance: User Define Memory Frequency: 100% Resulting Frequency: 200 MHz (400 FSB) Memory Timing: User Define SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.5T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6T DDR Reference Voltage: 2.7 Volts AGP Voltage: Default *unless you have ATI (9200 or 9600) or NVIDIA (5200 or 5700) then 1.6 Volts suggested!* All other settings are motherboards defaults 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
