Bad Memory???


Micronova

Recommended Posts

I have the 1024 TwinX 3200C2PRO XMS3202v2.1

Mobo - Shuttle AN50R

CPU - AMD64 3200

Mem config - DIMM1 & DIMM2 or DIMM1 & DIMM3 (doesn't matter)

Mem Timings - 2-3-3-6 or 2.5-3-3-6 or even tried 2.5-3-3-8 (doesn't matter)

Mem Voltage - default or 2.7v (doesn't matter)

 

The problem I'm having is sometimes on bootup to windows it will restart

before windows is totally booted. If I am lucky to get it to boot into windows

it will freeze up in applications or restart. I have tried using just one stick

and found that with one stick it will work fine and with the other it will crash

right away. I have ran memtest86 and it faults on test #8 (ones & zeros)

process 00000000-4 everytime and will just freeze up. I believe that I have

covered all my bases on this issue and would like to have your input on this

on wether you have something else that I have missed or if this warrants

a request for a RMA. Thank you for your time and look forward to hearing

from you soon.

Please make sure by testing the modules one at a time if you have not done so. And I would set the Dim Voltage to 2.7X volts as well.

If you still get errors with just one module, then please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it!

I have used just one stick at a time and with one of the modules it crashes right away and if I swap modules with the suspected good one it doesn't crash and passes memtest86. That is what I was trying to get accross in the last message but didn't quite type it that way LOL... Sorry about that...

 

My only other question I have is that seeing as these are matched pairs, do I send both of them in for RMA or just the one that is failing the memtest? I would assume you need these as a pair correct??
