JohnLumley Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Dear Corsair: I am running two of these sticks in a P4 2.6 system. When both sticks are installed (either in single or dual channel configuration) the OS will eventually crash and I get the nasty blue screen. When stick "A" is installed all by itself in any of the 4 slots... my system runs perfect without any problems. When stick "B" is installed all by itself in any of the 4 slots... I start having weird problems... programs crashing and shutting down etc. I am pretty sure I have a bad stick. I purchased these new from NewEgg.com. I tried to RMA and they refused because it’s been more than a year. (I have receipt from New Egg) I would like to RMA to Corsair for testing and a new stick. Sincerely, John L Personal Info removed for your protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 25, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 25, 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...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 28, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 28, 2005 Please try and set the Dim Voltage to 2.75 Volts and then test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnLumley Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 Dear Corsair: Downloaded MemTest86 v1.51 to a floppy and then booted my machine from floppy. Ran MemTest several times on each stick individually. Man those sticks get very warm after those tests. Stick "A" had no errors after 20 test cycles. Stick "B" had thousands of errors (red screen) after just one test cycle. John Lumley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 1, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 1, 2005 Let's get your modules replaced. 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...
JohnLumley Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 Clarification... When you say "Let's get your modules replaced." modules (plural)... does than mean you want me to send in BOTH of them or do you want just the ONE with the errors.

JohnLumley Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 Sorry I did not read your post completely. I will send both modules. Thank you very much for all your help. John Lumley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
