beastbrad Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I have a stick of corsair platinum series xms3200 256mb 400mhz cl2 and I put it into my soyo kt400 dragon ultra platinum edition motherboard and it won't work, I've tried several things such as switching slots, flashing cmos, etc... and still nothing. I have another stick of memory in there right now and its working fine, so I'm thinking my corsair stick must be bad. Any help or suggestions? Thanks in advance, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMC_SAVAGE Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 What CPU are you using? Did you mix the Corsair with the other module? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 13, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 13, 2005 and please tell us as well the BIOS settings that you have set for both CPU and memory and anyperformance settings that you may have set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastbrad Posted January 14, 2005 Author Share Posted January 14, 2005 I'm using an AMD Athlon XP 2800+, and I tried using the stick alone and with the other memory stick. I'll post the BIOS settings tomorrow when I have more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 14, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 14, 2005 . Please make sure that you have the latest BIOS for your MB and load Setup/Optimized default settings, and try the following BIOS settings; CMX256A or CMX512-3200C2 CPU Freq: 166 MHz (333 FSB) System Performance: User Define Memory Frequency: 100% Resulting Frequency: 166 MHz (333 FSB) Memory Timing: User Define SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.5T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6T DDR Reference Voltage: 2.7 Volts AGP Voltage: Default *unless you have ATI (9200 or 9600) or NVIDIA (5200 or 5700) then 1.6 Volts suggested!* All other settings are motherboards defaults 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
