George Pearce Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 My system keeps blue screening with page fault error messages with a pair of mem. modules are installed. If I remove 1 of the modules, the system runs ok. Any suggestions? Is this a system or memory fault? O/s = XP m/b = Gigabyte GA-81PE1000 mem = Twinx CMX512-3200LL 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 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...
George Pearce Posted December 7, 2004 Author Share Posted December 7, 2004 CPU = 3.2 gig. FSB = 800 Bios settings: CPU hyper-threading = enabled Limit CPUID max to 3 = disabled CPU host clock control = disabled system has set CPU host frequency to 200 Memory frequency set to Auto, system then set frequency to 400. Many thanks, George Pearce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 8, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 8, 2004 Please try and set the Dim Over Voltage control to +.2 Volts and then test the system. but if both modules will pass one up, but will not run stable when in dual channel that would suggest a problem somewhere else. I would maybe check the PSU and or test the modules in another system if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Pearce Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 I moved the good mem module from dimm1 to dimm 4 and put in the bad module in dimm2. I changed the Dim over-voltage to +.2 volts as you suggested and booted. System came up with fatal system error on blue screen after loading XP. I removed the good memory and rebooted; system wouldn't boot. I replaced the bad module with the good, but..... didn't click the module in tight enough. I have fried (fried i.e. vapourised) one of the 184 pins and I think blown the mother board. I was able to establish the bad mem. module is still bad, but how do you feel about me sending back the mem. modules for replacement? Thanks for your help. George Pearce.
