arthurtuxedo Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Got two 256 MB sticks of Corsair ram from Newegg in Feb of 2002. They served me well until recently. One of them has gone bad. When I tried to boot with it in my old computer, the stick literally caught fire, frying the motherboard! Thankfully the fire went out when I cut off the power, and I wasn't planning on using or selling the motherboard anyway. Given that my machine now works fine having taken out that stick of RAM, and that the stick caught fire, I hope it's obvious that there's no possibility it could be any other component. I hope to be able to RMA as soon as possible and get a replacement, since one 256 MB stick isn't really enough for modern games. Part number is CM64SD256-2700CX2H Version number is 1.1 Lot number is 020423 Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 17, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 17, 2005 Just FYI that there is no way a memory module can cause your system to set on fire unless; the module is plugged in incorrectly, bad PIN out on the memory DIMM slots on the MB, or the PSU itself.
