CMC_SAVAGE Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Heve you tried the video card in another system, or a different card in your system? 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 You might check or clear the bios with just one module installed at a time and see if it may be a bad module. However, if you get the same result with both modules one at a time I would suspect some other problem, as all of XMS modules are tested at the tested settings on a MB before they leave our factory.

Pulse Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 is it still possible to be faulty ram? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyKid Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Possible, but doubtful. The last time I had an issue where the fans would spin up (and stay on), but no VGA or booting would occur and the memory LED's would light up when it started, but in a very strange order, some red, some yellow, off patterns, etc ended up being a bad mainboard. The memory I had, even though it looked soooo funky, wasn't the issue. I'd look at your board if I were you. Having the lights light-up really strangely usually means the memory is being accessed incorrectly, meaning a bad chipset on the mainboard.

Pulse Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 yeah thats exactly what its doing but then eventually the lights would go out totally its been bugging me to hell and most times when your taught troubleshooting its the ram. could it be from a broken or loose connector on the ram slot?. because i think i might of accidently hit the ram and forced the slot to move some while sliding a drivebay out; so careless these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 1, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 1, 2004 If you suspect the memory is the cause of this, I would encourage you to see if a friend can help you test your memory in another system as that would help to isolate the memory from your system and give you an idea of the problem.

CandyKid Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Just a question, but did you try the "good" module in the slot that you hit? Just to make sure? PLUR CK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
