LBJLVC Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I bought the Twinx1024-3200XL ram. It worked fine for about 6 months but then one day I was palying Half life 2 and the computer shut down and reboot in the middle of the game. On reboot I got the blue screen, saying bad ram location. I tried to use the windows recovery concole with the windows xp install cd I have with my computer. It said I had a bad boot sector but every time I tried to fix it, it would not fix. Finally I took out the one stick of ram and left the other one, I could not even install windows because the blue screen came up and gave me the bad ram location. I switched the chips around again and I was able to get windows running and running well. I have not had any problems but I have a bad Corsair memory stick laying around. Do I really have to do the memory tester and reinstall the chip on to my mobo to return the chip? My specs AMD 64 3500+ Gigabyte K8NSNXP-939 Nvidia 6800 GT everything else is onboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
