GROMSTER Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Lately my pc has been suddenly shutting down, i,ve not changed any software or updated any drivers for a few weeks and it has been fine until about 4 days ago. After checking all components i discovered that one of my memory modules pins that connect to the M/B slot have marks on them. After removing the module everythings fine again, but will i be able to RMA my memory and if i can will the replacment be the same. :sigh!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 6, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 6, 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 Employees RAM GUY Posted December 6, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 6, 2004 Please try and set the dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts and set the timings manually to Cass 2.5-3-3-7 and test them with http://www.memtest.org. If you get errors, please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
