osu-geology Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 hi, I have two VS512MB226 memory sticks. I tried to put those in a computer desktop that I'm currently using. One of them does not boot up computer properly; all I see on the monitor screen is blank black screen. It does not even let me access BIOS. The other one boots up windows xp pro but if I run Memtest-86 v3.1 on a CD before loading windows xp pro, Memtest-86 v3.1 detects hundreds of erorr during every test case. The computer that I'm using works fine with the original memory that I have. I want to get replacements for these memory sticks. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 2, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 2, 2004 Can you tell me the make and model of MB you have along with the CPU speed and it’s FSB as well? In addition, please 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...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 9, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 9, 2004 Please make sure that you have the latest BIOS for your MB and load Setup/Optimized default settings, and set the DIMM/DDR voltage at 2.7,all other settings are motherboards defaults. Then please test them one at a time with http://www.memtest.org and let’s make sure it's not some other issue! I would run the test for at least 2-3 passes to be sure!

osu-geology Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 I downloaded the latest version of BIOS for my MB and updated the MB BIOS. Also, I loaded the default setting for my BIOS. I could not find any option in the BIOS that allows me to change any voltage of any device; I think my MB BIOS does not support that feature. I downloaded Memtest+ v1.40 from http://www.memtest.org (the latest version available) and tested two memory sticks with Memtest+ v1.40 (the latest version available) again. The result was the same as before Memtest detected hundreds of errors during its procedure on one of the sticks. For the other memory stick, if I install the other memory stick on the MB, the computer does not even boot up at all; nothing happens. Power light is on but the computer does not run (I just hear noise of a fan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
