Hi,

 

I purchased an XMS 3200 module from http://www.zipzoomfly.com a few months ago. My machine already had one such 512MB module, this was my second 512MB module.

 

 

My system worked fine for a few days after adding the memory. After that I started experiencing program crashes, and blue screens of the type "Page Fault in Non-Paged area". I removed the module, leaving only the original in, and everything worked fine. Finally, today, I did a test, removing the original and putting in only the new one. For a few attempts, windows didn't even boot. Once it managed to boot and I got the same blue screen message. Please provide me with an RMA number so I can return the part.

 

Below are my system specs, I have always ran the memory at 166MHZ, even though it is designed to work at 200MHZ. I have never overclocked the system.

Since the modules are not matched the suggested settings would be as follows and they should be in slots 1-2. And I would set the Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts as well.

DRAM Type: DDR-SDRAM

DRAM Size: 512 MBytes

DRAM Frequency: 166.7 MHz

FSB:DRAM: 1:1

DRAM Interleave: 4-way

CAS# Latency: 2.5 clocks

RAS# to CAS#: 3 clocks

RAS# Precharge: 3 clocks

Cycle Time (TRAS): 7 clocks

 

Then please test them with wwww.memtest.org.
