4x512 CMX512-3200XL Problems


Recommended Posts

I find that these 4 sticks are unstable. I tried them out one by one, paired them up, and ran mem86 test on them and yet my computer still crashes. When i tried different memory sticks the system ran fine and passed the mem86 test. I set my bios to default yet i still get problems.

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?

I have the asus P4C800 Deluxe w/ 1019 bios. 200 FSB and default setting for the motherboard.

With 4 modules you will need to relax the timings and with these modules the minimum voltage would 2.75 Volts. So I would try these settings and then test the system with http://www.memtest.org and if you get errors please test the modules at their tested settings one at a time at 2.75 Volts.

 

Please try these settings after you load setup defaults.

AI Over Clock Tuner: Manual

CPU Freq: 200 MHz

Memory Frequency: 100%/DDR400

Dim Voltage to 2.75 Volts (but if with 4 modules 2.85 Volts)

Resulting Frequency: 200MHz/400DDR

Legacy USB: Disabled

SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.5T

SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T

SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T

SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 7T

Then test the modules one at a time with http://www..memtest.org.

I ran mem86 test over again and discover that 3 out 4 of my modules are not working correctly. The three sticks of ram all failed mem86 awfully each one containing 10 or more failed tests. When i run a game the system crashes within seconds of gameplay.
