mno Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Hello all, I have an ASUS P4P800 Motherboard, running BIOS version 1018. I have a pair of the Corsair TwinX CMX512-3200LL (512MB) modules, Version 1.2, Lot 0340037. I have experimented with different BIOS settings, including those suggested in this thread to no avail. My current settings are: DRAM Clock: 200 MHz DRAM Timing (overrides SPD values): Manual System Performance: Normal SDRAM Bank cycle time (or tRAS): 6 SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 2 SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay (tRCD): 3 SDRAM CAS Latency: 2 Command Rate: 1T I have tried testing both modules (using memtest86), in both single and dual mode to no avail (hundreds of errors on the first pass). I then decided to try running each module by itself. The first module received no errors at all. I then swapped out the modules, putting the second one into the same slot the first one was in before. I got hundreds of errors once again. No BIOS settings were changed between the testing of the first and second modules. I have had problems with the memory before, around a year and a half ago, when I first put together my PC. The memory has been working fine since I had it replaced, however I started noticing trouble a few weeks ago, and thought it might be a registry error, and I thus decided to reformat my hard drive. After a lot of trouble installing Windows, I decided to take one of the modules out, and see if it was any better that way. It was. I then tried putting the second module back in, only to receive errors with installations and programs crashing. That's when I decided to try memtest86. I am doubtful that if would be a BIOS error, since the modules were tested on the exact same settings, however, if someone can reccommend another version of the BIOS, I would be willing to try it. If I was to try to exchange the module under the warranty, would I have to send in both modules (thus leaving my computer without ram), or would sending in the bad one suffice? Also, I was wondering if there is any way for me to receive a refund on the modules, as I am getting rather fed up with the problems. Sincerely, Alexander Nokhrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wired Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Moved. While you can send in just one, it's recommended to send in both so that they are matched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
