Woden Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I currently have 2 sticks of 256 mb value select pc 3200 ram in my computer and have had it for a little over a year. I recently bought another stick that is 512 mb also pc3200 and value select. I used it with the other 2 sticks of 256. To give me about a gig. When i inserted it and started the computer up it didnt work, but it screwed windows up and I had to reformat the hard drive. My computer can handle pc 3200 and up to 12 gigs. I had put a stick of 512 pc 2700 in the computer before i put in the new 512. It worked fine. Now I am back to using the two 256mb, and I don't know what is wrong with the ram weather it be that it is fried, or something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 12, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 12, 2005 Can you tell me our modules part# and revision of all of the modules, (How To Read the Memory Label) and 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woden Posted April 12, 2005 Author Share Posted April 12, 2005 I did not overclock the Ram or the CPU The Ram is set "By speed" which I think it is running at the fastest in this situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 12, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 12, 2005 And what did you have the memory frequency set too? If you were trying to run them at DDR400 that may be why they are failing. Can you tell me the make and model of MB you have, and the exact settings you had set for the memory and CPU?
