SpeedRacerGT Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Hello, My system randomly reboots on me when I perform memory intensive tasks. I downloaded Memtest-86 and ran it. I 21175 errors reported. I want to get an RMA for a new matched pair of memory. The other issue this memory has is it never ran at the spec 2-2-2-5 it had to run at 2-3-2-5 to be stable. I bought this a few months ago from Newegg, but I will get the run around if I contact them after 30 days. Please let me get my system running and let me get an RMA. Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 At 2-3-2-5 are you getting errors? What motherboard / CPU / FSB do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacerGT Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 At 2-3-2-5 are you getting errors? What motherboard / CPU / FSB do you have? Yes I am getting errors at 2-3-2-5. The box won't even post at 2-2-2-5 like it should. Now it will post, but the OS will not load. Asus P4C800-E Deluxe (i875p) P4 3.2 800 FSB 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 Please make sure that you have the latest BIOS for your MB and load Setup/optimized default settings, and try the following BIOS settings; TwinX1024 or TwinX512-3200XL Advanced/Jumper Free AI over clocking: Manual CPU Freq: 200 DRAM Clock: 400 MHz Memory or Dim Reference voltage: 2.75 Volts System performance: AUTO AGP Voltage: Default *unless you have ATI (9200 or 9600) or NVIDIA (5200 or 5700) then 1.6 Volts suggested!* Advanced/Chipset Configure Dram timing by SPD: Disabled/User define SDRAM CAS Latency: 2T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 2T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 2T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 5T SDRAM Burst Length: 8 Performance Acceleration Mode: Enabled USB Legacy Support: Disabled All other settings should be set to 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!

When I do any kind of large file decompression, the system reboots. When I do the same thing with other memory in the box, I have no issue. Please issue an RMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
