joeedoee Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Hi,.. i think i have a bad stick of ram.. i took a stick that i hadn't used for a while and stuck it into my motherboard and the motherboard beeps.. and gives me errors. I know there's nothign wrong with the motherboard itself or any other components since it works fine with different kind of ram.. The ram is Corsair XMS3200c2 v1.1 The motherboard tested on was a Biostar M7NCD with a barton 2500xp before i placed the 'bad' memory i made sure hte timings were correct and i'm had them running @ 2.5-3-3-6 @ 2.8v everything else is pretty much default. Should i get this RMAed or??? pls help thnx.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Are you running that module by itself? Are you running it in sync with the CPU @ 333 Mhz, or async, or are you OC'ing the CPU to 400 Mhz FSB? 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 If the FSB of your CPU is 400 For Intel and 100 MHz for AMD, the memory speed supports only DDR 266. If the FSB of your CPU is 533 For Intel and 133/166 MHz for AMD, the memory speed supports DDR 266/333 If the FSB of your CPU is 800 MHz for Intel and 200 MHz for AMD, the memory speed supports DDR 333/400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 30, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 30, 2004 Yes that is correct, and do you get eny more errors and is the system stable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeedoee Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 like i've said.. i can't even get it boot with this ram.. no idea why i've made sure the timings the fsb and nothing overclocked was done to the system before i stuck the ram in. Like i've said before.. i've tested with other types of ram that i know are good and they've worked with my system perfectly as for stability.. obviously can't say anythign aobut it since it won't boot.
