Fat4uNi2 Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Have two sticks of Corsair "Extreme Memory Speed XMS" Memory (CMX512-2700C2). Original machine is an AMD Athlon 2000+ (actual CPU at 1.67 GHz) on an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard. Machine is never stable, randomlly reboots after period of use. When random rebooting begins, cannot even load Windows XP and just reboots over and over again. Have tried memory in a Dell Dimension 4500 with similar results, slightly more stable, but still with the random reboots. Placed Crucial memory onto AMD machine (which was originally from the Dell) and AMD machine is stable. Problem is believed to be memory problem with the Corsair. Request RMA# to begin replacement of memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 18, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 18, 2005 Can you tell me the make and model of MB you have along with 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...
Fat4uNi2 Posted February 19, 2005 Author Share Posted February 19, 2005 Can you tell me the make and model of MB you have As stated above, it is an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard. along with the CPU speed Also mentioned above, AMD Athlon 2000+ with an actual CPU speed of ~1.6 GHz. 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? BIOS settings are with the auto set multiplier of 12.5, with a CPU bus speed of 133 MHz (so, 12.5 x 133 MHz ~ 1662.5 MHz). There aren't any performance settings besides the default settings as suggested by Asus for that particular CPU. I mean, wouldn't be a safe bet if we pulled (Micron) Crucial memory from a stable, working Dell Dimension 4500 and we plugged that into the AMD and the AMD was then stable and working, and when we placed the Corsair memory into the Dell Dimension 4500 that it became unstable with the random rebooting and instability that it was the memory's problem?

Wired Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Depends on a couple of things. When the Corsair memory was in the A7N8X-E Deluxe, was it set to 133 Mhz or 166 Mhz? What is the speed of the Crucial memory and the FSB of the Dell 4500? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
