Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 28, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 28, 2005 Please put the memory module on either slots 1&2 or 3&4; make sure that you have the latest BIOS installed for your MB, and set the following settings on your BIOS; TwinX512 or TwinX1024-3200XL Guru Utility CPU Operating Speed: User Define External Clock: 200/66/33 Memory Clock: 200 or 400MHz DDR SDRAM Voltage: 2.8 Volts AGP VDDQ Voltage: 1.6 Advanced Chipset/DRAM Configuration: DRAM Timing Selectable: User Define DRAM Clock: DDR400 DRAM Command Rate: 1T Cas Latency Time: 2T RAS# to CAS Delay (tRCD): 2T Min. RAS# Active Time (tRAS): 5T RAS# Precharge Time (tRP): 2T 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!
