romanaz Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Ok, I have had this setup working for well over 6 months, but before that I did have a bad ram chip, and got two new chips. My motherboard is the Gigabyte K8NS Pro, that supports DDR400. The ram I have is the Corsair CMX512-3200C2 XMS3202v1.2. I have two sticks in a 1024(512x2) set. Just this morning, my computer, while running norton anti-virus, froze up, and would not boot up. After 2 hours worth of memtest86, and trying god knows how many setups for spots and one stick or two. I tried these : slot 0 and slot 1, slot 0 and slot 2, slot 1 and slot 2, just slot 1, just slot 0, just slot 2, with both ram chips. Each time, when the ram was by itself, the computer booted properly, and ram memtest with no errors. When I put both chips in, no matter what setup, the computer issues a long beep and will not boot at all. Also, before I had this problem, I could not get the chips to run at ddr400, only 166mhz for each chip. Any help please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 14, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 14, 2005 Please set the Dim Voltage to +.2 Volts and test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org. If you have a bad module one will work and one will not. If both modules pass running one up that would suggest some other problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanaz Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 I have to have it running at +.2 volts for it to work with this motherboard, so I have already done that. I have put both in, and run memtest86 on both, but once I put both sticks in, it wont load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 15, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 15, 2005 Will the modules pass http://www.memtest.org one at a time? If so; I would maybe test them in another MB if you can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanaz Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 There is no one in my area with a motherboard compatible with this ram, everyone has 3 year old pc's that have SD ram. The only way to test it, would be to buy a whole new motherboard, and I dont really have that kind of money right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 16, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 16, 2005 The only thing I can offer would be to replace the modules, but from what you have posted it does not sound like the memory is the problem. 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...
romanaz Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 my friend is going to be getting a system within a week that I could test the ram out on, so I will wait and test it out. Also, there appears to be new bios out, but the link on the site is down. Hopefully it gets up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romanaz Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 Alright, I actually took my motherboard out, and took a nice look at it, and it seems something fried in between the dimm slots 0-1, making it so those slots don't work at all. I am probally going to just get rid of that motherboard and upgrade to a msi nforce4. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
