stam Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hi, I am having problems with a pair of TWINX CMX256A-3200LL (XMS3205v1.2) RAM. My computer started to freeze randomly once I used this RAM and worked fine with different RAM. So I tested the sticks with memtest86 and repeatedly got errors at around 87.1MB and 71.1MB. The timings I used: 200MHz with standard timings (2-3-2-6) I also tried 166MHz with 2-3-2-6 166MHz with 3-3-3-7 with the same results. My computer: MB: Intel D865PERL with Intel 865PE chipset CPU: Intel Celeron 2800MHz with FSB 533 Thanks, stam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wired Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Also, test them in the same slot, preferably more than one slot in fact. The reasoning for this is that it may be a bad slot and this may help to determine that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stam Posted March 23, 2005 Author Share Posted March 23, 2005 ok, I tested each module (in the same slot). One seemed to work just fine, while the other one gave me the same errors as mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
