Cellomaster Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Recently I bought DDR3200 Twinx XMS 512mb memory. I have been having a windows error irql_is_not_less_or_equal that is caused by the memory. Is this a problem caused by the memory or is it a BIOS setting? Usually the problem occurs while the memory is in use of things such as games(HL2 CS:S), but it also occurs at random times, even when I am not using it.

Wired Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 What CPU / FSB / Motherboard do you have? What is the exact part # and revision # of your memory? How To Read the Memory Label If you have more than one stick: Is it a TwinX pack? If not, what is the revision # of each stick? Did you test one stick at a time in each slot using Memtest86+?

Cellomaster Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 I have a Pentium 4 CPU that runs at 3.0 GHz with an 800 MHz Fsb. My mother board is an Abit IC7-G. The two sticks I have are a twinx set and their part umbers are CMX256A-3200XL and their revision numbers are XMS3208v1.2. I will post my memtest results later today.

Cellomaster Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 I tested the memory individually with aanother module of the same type that I know works(my mother board only allows for dual channel), and they both had no error in two passes. I then tested them together and they came back with 35 errors in the first pass. They work individually but not as a pair, very weird. So is this a hardware error that needs to be sent in and fixed or is it a BIOS setting that I can fix easily? 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 try and set the Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts and test the modules with http://www.memtest.org, if you still get errors please try 2.8 Volts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellomaster Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 At 2.7v it had 23 errors in one pass and at 2.8v it had 21 error in one pass. So there is still something wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
