G0tcha Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Ram - 2 Sticks Of: CMX512 - 3200C2 XMS3202v3.1 0428010 - 2 XMS3200 512mb 400mhz CL2 Mobo - ASUS P4S800D-E DELUXE SIS655TX R I have everything running stock and memory on automatic. I bought this ram last july of 2004 and ever since i booted up i have been getting memory dumps every so often. it can be random at times like when im playing a game itll crash or sometimes when i defrag itll crash. Even when i open Motherboarld Monitor (CPU/Case Temperature Monitor Program) ill get a physical memory dump blue screen. I love this ram because it is fast but i wish it were more reliable with the whole dumps and everything. How do i fix this and if i cant can i use that life-time warrenty and get it exchanged?

Wired Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Try one stick at a time in each slot and run memtest.org on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G0tcha Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 Did it and it didnt find any errors what else ya got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 If they tested fine, try Windows. If no go, it's most likely a Windows problem. Test them in another system to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 23, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 23, 2005 Can you please tell me if the modules that you have was purchased as a pair? If it is then please make sure that you have the latest BIOS installed for your MB and load Setup/optimized default settings, and try the following BIOS settings; TwinX1024 or TwinX512-3200C2 Advanced/Jumper Free AI over clocking: Manual CPU Freq: 200 DRAM Clock: 400 MHz Memory or Dim Reference voltage: 2.75 Volts System performance: AUTO AGP Voltage: Default *unless you have ATI (9200 or 9600) or NVIDIA (5200 or 5700) then 1.6 Volts suggested!* Advanced/Chipset Configure Dram timing by SPD: Disabled/User define SDRAM CAS Latency: 2T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6T SDRAM Burst Length: 8 Memory Acceleration Mode: Auto USB Legacy Support: Disabled All other settings should be set to default settings! 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!

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 4, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 4, 2005 If you don't see the Burst Length setting, then do not worry about it; some settings will be there and some are not, depending on the MB model that you have. For the USB legacy support, you should have a USB configuration under Advanced menu; here you should find the USB legacy option and you can disable it only when you are ready to run Memtest. Now for your Video card, I would just leave that to the default setting; unfortunately we can't recommend any settings for it, since just in case something happened to it. The MB that you have as of now is good; unless you are asking if you wanted to switch with a AMD system or DDR2 technologies; anyways I would highly recommend you just to do a little research in regards to your new MB purchase, since it is very difficult for us to recommend a model and other MB manufacturers may think that we are being biased about it.

G0tcha Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 thanks for the info and yeah i found the usb setting so should i leave these settings in and then re enable the usb setting after i found no errors cuz i didnt find any errors when i let it scan 3 times. now i plan on getting a new hard drive to back up about 80 gigs of media and what not and when i reformat in who knows when i hope that it solves the problem but if it does not solve my problem and i still get the blue screens im guessing that my last option is hopefully to be able to put he warrenty to use and exchange or many i can send it and then pay less for a better model if possible. would you be able to get me more info on that thanks a lot and hope to get a message/reply from you asap. thanks for the help - G0tcha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 7, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 7, 2005 Yes pleaes re-enable the USB legacy support after doing the testing. The problem that you have could be coming from different hardware such as the MB, CPU, PSU, video card, etc... or maybe just a driver issue.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 8, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 8, 2005 The drivers for your MB or hardware’s have to be downloaded on the manufacturer site; you should check with them with the updates, and there is nothing much really to research on this. As far as the over clocking procedure goes; please understand that over clocking is a privilege and there is no guarantee on it, you are more than welcome to try anything but I do not think it will be possible for us to suggest or guarantee you a setting that are set to work based on your system specification.
