alecRM Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I'm running AMD Athlon 64 3500+ MSI K8N Neo Platinum Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB WD Raptor 74GB WD 120GB and four sticks of Corsair 256MB, PC3200, CL2.5 memory. Until recently, I only had two sticks - everything working fine. Recently I increased the number to four. After about two weeks of no complaints, my system has been randomly freezing (whtever is onscreen at the time just freezes and it doesn't respond), with an average up time of about 4 hours. Since I assumed it was a problem with the new memory, I tried memtest, no errors. So, I switched the gfx card with an old one, same problems. I thought something was up with memtest, so took out the new memory. Oddly, it started crashing even more back to the original configuration! So now I've taken all but one stick out, and it's stable. The system is stable whichever of the four sticks I put in singularly, so it seems the error occurs when they're working together. I've done stuff like updated the BIOS, made sure it wasn't a heat problem, updated drivers... What should I try now? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 21, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 21, 2005 Can you tell me our modules part# and revision of all of the modules (How To Read the Memory Label) and the bios settings you have set for both CPU and memory and any performance settings that you may have set?

alecRM Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 I looked at the guide, but I can't really find any direct equivalence to what numbers I can find on mine. Sorry to be an inconvenience, but I found on them the following...

alecRM Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 I haven't set anything specific, most things seem to be on 'Auto'. I did see however that: CPU FSB: 200 Timing: 2T I'm not sure if these are the bits of information you were looking for; let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 25, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 25, 2005 Please load optimized/setup defaults and then set the Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts and test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org to be sure one is not fialing. If you do find one is failing please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it!

alecRM Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 Do I have to return the parts to the US, or is there somewhere in the UK/Europe I can ship them to? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
