JediGlock19 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I built a gaming rig a year ago and used 2 sticks of XMS CMX512-3200C2PT which I purchased from newegg.com. At the time of purchase, one stick was bad and they replaced it quickly. Everything's been fine for more than a year until recently Ive been getting sudden reboots and just yesterday PC would not boot, but to a blue screen of death with the "Non Paged Area" error message. Several trials of reinstalling Windows and a new HDD were useless till I looked up what the error message meant, "possible bad memory". Sure enough, I took one stick out and everything was fine, put it back and same problems. I tried this with both. I have a bad stick and need help with warranty. I need my 1024MB for HL2. Thanks.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 1, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 1, 2004 Can you tell me the bios settings you have set for both CPU and memory and any performance settings that you may have set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediGlock19 Posted December 2, 2004 Author Share Posted December 2, 2004 Hi. Everything is default and I never OC the CPU or the Videocard. CPU settings: Ratio: Locked Ratio Actual Value: 15 CPUID Max Value Limit: Disabled Hyper Threading: Enabled Memory settings: Configure DRAM timing by SPD: Enabled Performance Acceleration Mode: Auto DRAM Idle TImer: Auto DRAM Refresh RAte: Auto thats all the settings available. The way it is here is the way its been since I built the pc and has been working fine for more than a year until recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JediGlock19 Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 Ok, I tried to change BIOS settings but for the DRAM settings the choices are not in 2T, 3T, 6T. They are in CLOCKS. What do I do? Question, why would this work, if the identical 512 module in the pc now works fine with the present default settings? Thanks again. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
