Replacement twinx1024-3200xl bad also

Hey RAM guy,

I'm getting some bad luck here.

I installed the replacement RAM and everything looked good. Then the system crashed while I was gaming and windows gave me a memory error.

 

I ran memtest to look for errors and came up with 804 errors.

I think I need a replacement again.

 

here's my specs.

athlon 64 3500

K8N Neo2 Platinum

wd raptor 74gb

twinx1024-3200xl

geforce 6800 gt

zalman power supply

and a ups for surge protection and battery backup

nothing is overclocked (stock speeds only)

dvd-rw and dvd/cd-rw combo

Please make sure that you have the latest bios and the modules should be in slots 1-2 and then load setup/optimized defaults and then set Dim Voltage to 2.8 Volts should be all you need to do, but if the system is still not stabke I would try and set the Rass to Cass to "3" and see what happens.

Already did that based on your suggestions from last time. Same problems.

 

Here's a test I did. I took the ram I have from another system, 2 sticks of crucial 256mb @ 266mhz and put it into my system. I ran memtest and had no problems at all! phew! For a second there I was thinking that my system could be frying the ram. (Is that even possible?)

 

Thanks RAM GUY

Please make sure that you have the latest BIOS installed on your MB and set the following BIOS settings;

DRAM Configuration :

Max Memclock: Limit or 200

1T/2T Memory Timing : 1T

CAS# latency (Tlc): 2

RAS# to CAS# delay (Trcd): 3

Min RAS# active time (Tras): 5

Row precharge Time (Trp): 2

High Performance Mode : Manual

Aggressive timing : DISABLED

Dynamic Overclocking: DISABLED

Spread Spectrum : Enabled

HT Frequency : 5x

Cool’n’Quiet: Enable

Adjust CPU Rotation: Startup

Adjust CPU FSB Frequency: 200

Adjust AGP Frequency: 66

Adjust CPU VID 1.500v

CPU Voltage: By CPU VID

Memory Voltage : 2.75

AGP Voltage: 1.50V *1.6V if you have 9200 or 9600 ATI or 5200 or 5700 Nvidia card.

All other settings should be left to MB default settings.

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!

1. Yes, mobos can fry memory.

 

2. Try testing the board with 400 Mhz memory.
