yoda22 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Hi Forum! I hope you can help - just bought 2x512MB 3200XL (twinx1024) and added it to my new mainboard Asus A7V880 - the problem is, that only 768 MB are recognized by the system. I left all settings in BIOS alone - any idea why this is? Any chance to get the whole 1024mb? Or need to send it to RMA? Thanks in advance! yoda22 from Austria!

CMC_SAVAGE Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Is this RAM by itself or is there a 256Mb stick mixed in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda22 Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 Is this RAM by itself or is there a 256Mb stick mixed in? No - I got two CMX512-3200XL of the TWINX series. I just tried to put in one memory at once and figured out that one is only recognized as 256 mb, altough should by 512. I also let memtest86+ check the rams and the one with 512 was ok but the "256MB" bar had many errors (1 test-loop around 140 errors). I think I can be quite sure now that one of the bars is bad - would you agree? Should I request a RMA? Is there an european RMA center or only the headquater?

yoda22 Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 Oh - another question - do I need to send back both RAMs or only the one, that is bad? EDIT: Details for the bad RAM: Partnumber: CMX512-3200XL Version: XMS3208v1.1 Lot: 0435061-1 My System: A7V880 with AMD Athlon 3200+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda22 Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 @RAM GUY - I tried all the tips and tricks you gave to similar problems. IMHO I think that I should return the bad RAM to the RMA. The quickest way to get a RMA number is via the web form right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
