westaussie Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 I have 1 module of CMX512-2700C2 (XMS2700v1.1) that I purchased in 2002 for my asus A7V333/xp2200. It worked fine so kept it when I upgraded to a asus P4PE/P42.6ghz in 2003 it has been working fine until about a month ago I started getting blue screens such as oe errors , od errors , navx(32)vxd errors and failing to reboot. I have flashed the bios to the latest , I have uninstalled Norton’s 2002 and replaced it for Norton’s 2004 , thinking it may be the operating system I was contemplating formatting but oe errors are normally memory related so I changed the ram for some generic ram from a another pc and now it's been running perfect since. I took back the ram back to the shop I purchased it from and they stated said they only support warranty for 12 months on any item and said I need to send it back to corsair. He also said it looked like the heat sink/cover had been tampered with so now I’m wondering if it is a fake. How can I tell, what do I do now.

I would run the test for at least 2-3 passes to be sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westaussie Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 Thankyou ramguy for your suggestions. But I've swapped the CMX512-2700C2 with generic 512 from a asus A7V600-x and the problems have stopped, i have tried the CMX512-2700C2 in the asus A7V600-x and having the same issues. I've never had to modify the bios settings prior as nothing has changed except for time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
