John Langton Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 but im no expert. I have been getting random reboots to blue screen with the blue screen saying "memory management" problems. So i posted on motherboards.org to see if anyone could help me http://www.motherboards.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=417244#417244 I was advised to use memtest to check my RAM which I did. I have 2 sticks of Corsair CMX512Mb 3200LLPT ram. With both of them installed a fault was found so i narrowed it down to just one stick of ram. Now I have narrowed the faulty stick down what will be my next step. here are my specs Abit IC7 Max3 P4 3.2 Corsair PC3200XMS 2x512 2 WD 80Gb HD with 8Mb cache Hercules Radeon 9800XT Antec Tru blue 460PSU Lian Li PC75 Hope you can help RAM Guy John Langton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Your quote in that thread is from a different issue, although increasing the voltage to 2.8 may help. This the same memory you posted about last March? http://houseofhelp.com/v3/showthread.php?t=23107 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Langton Posted November 28, 2004 Author Share Posted November 28, 2004 OK i will up the voltage to 2.8v at moment it has been upped to 2.8 in the bios but is showing at 2.74. Anymore ideas in the meantime? John PS what is the max i want to take the voltage up if it still shows problems at 2.8 on the bios settings Thanks for the quick reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 No problemo. Max voltage would be 2.9v, as over that would void the warranty of the memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Langton Posted November 28, 2004 Author Share Posted November 28, 2004 :): just noticed the link u had from last march! Yes its the same module, only now i think i know a little more about computers to get stuck in and have a go. Anyway update so far is that i think the increase in voltage from 2.6 to 2.8 in the BIOS has sorted it touch wood. However altho in the bios its set at 2.8 its still only getting 2.74 according to Motherboard monitor 5. Do i increase the BIOS to more than 2.8 so the rail is getting more than 2.74 as ive seen on the site the min for my memory is 2.75. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Langton Posted November 28, 2004 Author Share Posted November 28, 2004 OK will keep bumbing the bios up so i get more than 2.75 but no more than 2.9 showing on motherboard monitor John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Langton Posted November 28, 2004 Author Share Posted November 28, 2004 Strange at 2.74v memtest says no problems detected. Any other voltage lower or higher memtest says there is a problem. Have set up a few games yet to see if it is stable tho John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 29, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 29, 2004 Most likely the PSU that you have is producing enough power but the board is only saying or reading a 2.74 voltage reading, or the other way around, that the board is producing more power even though the PSU only tells it to produce a certain amount or the voltage sensor on the board is reading an incorrect value.
