mmm65 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I suspect I have bad RAM. I bought it in June 2003 as part of computer purchased at a local retail store. I've had continual problems since the purchase. I have two Corsair DIMMS as follows (both bought in June 2003): - Part number CMX512-3200C2 - Version number 2.2 - Lot Number 0321136 I ran Memtest86+ for over an hour on one DIMM and got no errors. I replaced that DIMM with the other DIMM, ran it for 90 minutes, and Memtest86+ reported over 45,000 errors. It seems to be in Bit 14 because all errors I looked at had a bad Bit 14. For example: Good (write): 60000000 Bad (read): 20000000 I am using default settings for the RAM and all system components. Some system info from the BIOS and/or Memtest86+: - Intel Pentium 4 at 2.8 Ghz - i865 chipset - CAS: 2.5-3-3-8 (default settings) - FSB: 199 Mhz - System Mem: 400 Mhz - System Bus: 800 Mhz What next?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 19, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 19, 2005 Can you tell me the exact model# of your memory module and please tell me if you purchased that module as a pair or set; also what is the make and model of MB you have along with the CPU speed and its FSB as well? In addition, please tell me if you have the latest BIOS installed on your system and what BIOS settings you have set for both CPU and memory and any performance settings that you may have set?

Didn’t you read my post? Almost all of the questions you asked are answered. >Can you tell me the exact model# of your memory module I PREVIOUSLY wrote: - Part number CMX512-3200C2 - Version number 2.2 - Lot Number 0321136 What more do you need? > and please tell me if you purchased that module as a pair or set; I purchased them simultaneously; the computer came with a total of 1 GB. As I wrote, I bought them both in June 2003. >also what is the make and model of MB you have Intel D865PERL MB > along with the CPU speed and its FSB as well? Please read my original post for the answers. In addition, please tell me if you have the latest BIOS installed on your system No, I can do that. But in the meantime, please explain how the BIOS could be causing a problem when I have a consistent problem (over 45,000 errors when run for an hour) with bit 14 of Module A inserted in a DIMM slot, and then when it’s removed and Module B is inserted in the same slot, there are no problems? Module A in a slot = 45,000 errors, all on bit 14. Module B in that same slot = zero errors Explain how the BIOS could cause that. > and what BIOS settings you have set for both CPU and memory and any performance settings that you may have set?
