Alex-FFM Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Hi, i've bougth the TWINX DDR XMS3200 512MB (each) 400 MHz Ram's in 2003 and they were running perfectly in my Dual Channel MSI K7N2 Delta Board with an Athlon 2500 XP Processor. I've used the SPD Memory Settings and 200 MHZ FSB Bus Speed. Since one month I often had trouble with hanging games, Windows Bluscreens with the PFN_LIST_CORRUPT Error and corrupt files when burning CD's or extracting zip-files. I haven't changed anything in the system and my XP installation is as old as the sticks. After i detect the problems I've changed memory timings to slower ones then SPD, FSB speed to 133, remove all unneeded PCI cards but the problem still exist. BIOS updates and newest NVIDIA nforce drivers for the board doesn't help too. Today I replaced the Corsairs Sticks with two infinon 512 MB Ram's in and everything is working fine! Can I have an RMA number to send them back to test and change them? MSI K7N2 Delta, Athlon XP 2500 Barton Corsair TWINX CMX512-3200LL XMS3205v1.2 Best Regards, Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 30, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 30, 2004 With a 2500+ running at 333FSB you would need to set the memory Frequency at DDR333 , or it will cause a bottleneck in the chipset and cause random errors or at least make the memory perform like PC-2100.

Alex-FFM Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 Thanks for this advice but I have test it with different FSB Bus Settings for the last two weeks. After the problems happens I choose FSB 333 and FSB 266 but the problems still exist. I although altered memory timings for testing but nothing helps. The system was running stable with FSB 400 since one year and is again running stable at FSB 400 with the ordanary infinon rams. The CPU (Athlon XP Barton) is liquid cooled and the system has extra fans too. I haven't test which of the TWINX sticks is the problem but I expect they will be changed both because they are a machted pair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
