mcase Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Hello, I have recently run into an issue with my XMS1024-3200xlpro memory. I have had this computer up and running since September, but was not aware of my memory problem until purchasing and trying to play World of Warcraft. I crash to the desktop very often (3+ times per hour) while playing it. This lead me to blizzard's tech forum for my errors (#132 and #131). They suggested reinstalling the game, then running memtest86 as well as another memory tester, followed by running prime 95 to stress the cpu. Well I unistalled and reinstalled the game and still had the same problems. So I moved on to testing my ram. Memtest86 has found some failing addresses, all of which occurred on test 5. I ran 7 passes for a duration of 2 hours, and ran into 70 errors. I did this test with both of the ram modules still in the computer. I kept them both in when I ran the test because I was skeptical at first my ram had anything to do with the problems the game was having. I will be retesting with each of the modules separate. my question for the experts before I retest is , could a setting be incorrect on the bios to cause my ram to fail the memtest86 #5 test? My settings are as follows: CPU: Amd Athlon 64 3500+ (Not o/c'd) Dimm1: 512MB Dimm2: 512MB Memory Config Settings Memclock Mode [Auto] Dram over 4G remapping [disabled] Bank Interleaving [enabled] Node interleaving [disabled] Burst length [8 beats] cas latency [2.0] trc [auto] trfc [auto] trcd [2 clk] twr [auto] trwt [auto] tras [5 clk] trp [2 clk] twcl [auto] asyncLat [ auto] read preamble setting [ auto] 2T command [auto] If there is any other information you may need to help me with my issue, definitely ask. I appreciate your help with my problem. -Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
