Pauly Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Hi, I've been running TwinX1024 XMS3200LLPT in my system for over a year now with no apparent trouble. I recently upgraded by graphics card to a GeForce 6800GT and have opened myself to a world of pain. I originally suspected the extra power consumption so upgraded the power supply to a 450W version, but no joy. After some testing I started to doubt the memory. Visited here and took the suggestion of running Memtest86+ V1.50 over night, results were suprising. Main highlight is test 6 failing at 244, 247 and 708Mb (I can type the results in if required, but I'm being lazy here). I've not been able to return to my original graphics card as my better half has run off with it. If required I can be brave and attempt to get it back ;): Anyway, system is Gigabyte GA-8KNXP Rev 1 Bios F12 TwinX1024 XMS3200LLPT (no other sticks installed) Memory running at dual channel P4 2.8Ghz HT FSB 200Mhz I've not attempted to up the power to the memory as I have no idea what it starts at and the BIOS only gives +0.1, +0.2 or +0.3 volts as options. Hope you can help. Cheers, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 4, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 4, 2005 Paul, Please try and set the Dim Over voltage control to +.2 volts and then test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org. And since this all started after you instaled the Video card I would suggest testing with the old Video Card to verify its not some other problem.

Pauly Posted February 8, 2005 Author Share Posted February 8, 2005 Hi RamGuy, Thanks for the prompt response and I appologise for the slow one from me. OK I kept the new grahics card in and increased the voltage by +0.2V, I got the following results 1st Stick - 8 hour test, no errors 2nd Stick - 9 hour test, no errors Both sticks together - 16 hour test, no errors At this point I decided it wasn't worth re-testing with my old grahics card as I believe this firmly points a finger at the card. I will now arrange a replacement and see how that pans out. Once again, thanks for your help. Cheers, Pauly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 8, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 8, 2005 No problem, but it may be that with the new video card it just needed more voltage. If the modules are working now with the Dim Voltage set to +.2 Volts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
