wolfboy Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I have had corsair ram since for about a year. I decided last week to get a matches pair of XMS 3200 Twin X ram. I installed the ram, played on Fifa, and got a BSOD, played on Call of Duty and it just freezes. The freezing happens after 2 mins sometimes,and 2 hours other times. I have not overclocked my system, I have upgraded the bios, I have changed the ram voltage to 2.7 and I have changed the dimm slot but the problem still occurs. How can I fix this?

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 17, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 17, 2004 Usually 2-4 passes will be enough to show errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfboy Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 Well, I have left it running for 6hrs 30 and it has not found any errors. What could be causing this problem? It has only happened since the ram was installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 17, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 17, 2004 If you are not getting errors in memtest but you have other problems, I would see if a friend can loan you another PSU to test your system with. And what is the exact part# of our modules and what do you have the bios set to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 17, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 17, 2004 You might check with the MB maker, or try the manual or Abit's user forum. Or http://www.houseofmobos.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drvrguru Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Once into Bios hit ctrl-F1. This should give you extra options this is the advanced bios. You should have a lot more options now under your existing options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 20, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 20, 2004 That is for Giga-Byte not Abit. I would suggest you ask the MB maker wolfboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
