Mikealot Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 RAM Guy, I am having issues with my 2 512 3200LL DIMMS. They're running on an Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard, and have been for about a year and a half. After using World of Warcraft for a while, it began crashing regularly with memory errors. I ran memtest86 and it found numerous errors. Timings right now are 2T, 3, 3, 7 Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 20, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 20, 2005 Can you tell me the CPU speed and it’s FSB as well? In addition, please tell me the bios settings you have set for both CPU and memory and any performance settings that you may have set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikealot Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 right now, i have a FSB of 200mhz, and a multiplier of 10.0 x. Everything is currently user defined, but during the course of my testing I reset all my bios settings and tested them, and they still were drawing errors. I again ran memtest86 on the sticks individually, with only my second stick causing errors. ~Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 20, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 20, 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 TwinX512-3200LL 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: 2T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 2T 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...
Mikealot Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 Under those settings, no errors were detected on either stick! So any ideas as to what was causing the problem before, and will I be able to return any of my settings to their previous state? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 20, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 20, 2005 What is the speed of your CPU and it's default FSB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikealot Posted January 21, 2005 Author Share Posted January 21, 2005 If i set my bios to it's default, it gets 100mhz (200 mhz FSB) with a multiplier of 11.0. Before, I had my settings on 200mhz, so 400 FSB, with a multiplier of 10.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 21, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 21, 2005 But what I would like to know is what CPU did you purchase? What is the default speed and FSB of your CPU, not what you are trying to run them at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikealot Posted January 22, 2005 Author Share Posted January 22, 2005 I have an AMD Athlon XP 2500+. Default is 333 mhz FSB, 166 mhz CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Try the memory in a system that defaults @ 200 mhz, as it could be the CPU dying or something else that's stressed out over the OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 24, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 24, 2005 We can try and replace the modules, but from what you have posted it may be the CPU is just getting tired! Please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
