Bad CMX512-3200XL Kit?

[Jayhawk94]

Hi,

 

I have an Asus A7n8x-E Deluxe at the latest bios rev. (1013). I just upgraded my processor to a Athlon XP 3000+ 400mhz fsb. I also got the CMX512-3200XL kit 2x512. Since the upgrade I can not play any game for longer than 10 minutes without it crashing back to the desktop or rebooting my system. I have run memtest86 on each Dimm individually and get errors on both dimms. I started out with 2-2-2-5 timings at 2.7v and moved to 2-3-3-6 at 2.7v (im new to this, so hopefully this is correct.) I still get errors on each Dimm. (One at test 2,5,6 and the other on test 4,6) Could someone please tell me if I should be doing something different or just RMA them. I bought them through newegg so do I go through them or Corsair?? Thanks.

Try different memory or a different CPU first, as if you upgraded both at the same time, it may be the CPU.

I do not have another processor or memory that can run at 400 FSB. I did try to change the FSB to 166 and ran memtest86. I received no errors. I them moved the timings back to 2-2-2-5 and the FSB to 195. I only get one error on test 2 in memtest86. Im not sure if that tells me anything, but I dont know how else to troubleshoot without another processor or memory. Thanks.

Please set the FSB jumper to pins 2-3 furthest away from the CPU and then go to bios and load setup defaults and set the CPU and memory manually and I would set the Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts as well. Then please test them one at a time. If you need help with this please try http://www.asusforums.org
