Alucard22 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hello, I'm running a pair of Twin X CMX512-3200C2PT and one of them appears to have developed a bad case of erroridious. During general use system runs alright. Occasionally Outlook will yell at me about a form of memory error and want to reboot itself; which I do and sometimes again a little while later it will do it again. During heavier usage it tends to error a bit more frequently. If I'm in a game I can sometimes play for about 5 minutes or so if even before it locks up. I just ran memtest and it became rather clear that something was wrong. Running both chips I had gotten a total of 382 errors. Going back through it again with only one chip at a time, one passed and the other got 2921 erros on Test 5, and another 275 errors during test 7. Is there any other tests that may need to be ran before being cleared for RMA or is this worthy? Thanks. P.S. Forgot to mention that the motherboard I'm using is an ABIT AI7 with a Pentium 4 2.8GHz.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 15, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 15, 2005 Can you tell me our modules part# (How To Read the Memory Label) and 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...

Module # is CMX512 - 3200C2PT CPU Speed is Pentium 4 2.8GHz Memory Speed is 400MHz I don't have any performance settings turned on. Game Accelerator is set to Auto, and DRAM setting is by SPD.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 15, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 15, 2005 And do you have a 533 FSB CPU or an 800 FSB CPU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 15, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 15, 2005 Please try these settings and test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org. CPU Freq: 200 MHz Memory Frequency: 100%DDR400 Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts Resulting Frequency: 200MHz/DDR400 SDRAM CAS Latency: 2T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I reboot again it'll POST but still won't boot. That's using either chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 16, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 16, 2005 That might suggest some other problem, can you test the modules in another system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alucard22 Posted March 16, 2005 Author Share Posted March 16, 2005 That might suggest some other problem, can you test the modules in another system? I have a Soyo SY KT-400 I can test it in. AMD 2400+ CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 16, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 16, 2005 With that CPU you would need to set the memory Frequency at DDR333, but you can over clock the CPU a bit and test them one at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alucard22 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Share Posted March 18, 2005 Tested the memory in that motherboard and came out all good. So I went and just returned my motherboard and got a SOYO SY-P4VTE. Ran memtest on each memory and it returns more errors then ever in test 7 on both of them, not just the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
