strong_bah Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Abit AG8 uguru MB with latest bios 3.6 p4 prescott lga775 800fsb ok well i first noticed there was a problem when i attempted to use a program called quickpar and what it does is test your memory before repairing a given file, well this time it said fault in memory. Never happened before, so I checked the memory using windows memory checker and one stick checks out perfect every time and the other passes one test and none of the others. System is stable using both.. for now... but i do get some random restarts and such... i have all the settings in my bios at default. Any help is appreciated.

Wired Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Where'd you hear quickpar tests your memory?!?! It doesn't. I just re-read the white papers on the algorithm (just in case they added it) and it doesn't do that at all. http://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=30568 It DOES do a checksum, but that's on the PAR files, not the memory.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 11, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 11, 2005 Can you tell me the bios settings you have set for both CPU and memory and any performance settings that you may have set? And have you ran http://www.memtest.org on the modules one at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strong_bah Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 Wired... quickpar would not run at all, it kept giving me the error, but after i removed that one sticked it worked perfect. RamGuy... Bios is in optimized default.. I dont know if this is from the memory or not but most of the time when I turn off the power(flip the switch) and i try to turn it back on it starts to go but before it shows the abit logo it will shut off and i have to turn it on again and then it will kick in and load up, saying it is on fail-safe settings... kind of weird..

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 11, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 11, 2005 I would try and set the Dim Voltage to 2.75 Volts and test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strong_bah Posted January 12, 2005 Author Share Posted January 12, 2005 Ok well I put the voltage to 2.7 because 2.75 wasn't available... tested each individually... one stick gives no errors at all... the other has more than 2,000 errors before 50% of first pass is done. Oddly enough when i run the test with both sticks in I get way more errors... as in 3,000 by 30% of the first pass. Anything I can do or is it RMA time? I purchased these through newegg and can rma through them... or you... whichever is easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
