leviathan1 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I purchased a 1 GB TwinX memory set (2 CMX512-3200C2 CL2 XMS modules). The system randomly rebooted Windows. After a format and reinstall the same problem still existed. I ran Memtest on the system memory and it found 2 errors. I pulled the modules from the computer and it is running properly now. I have a Gigabyte GA-8KNXP Rev 2. motherboard. Intel 875i chipset, and an Intel Pentium IV 3.2Ghz 478 512k L2 Cache. I currently have another set of the same TwinX XMS memory set running in the machine with no problem. What do I need to do? I've sent an e-mail to ramguy@corsairmemory.com.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 25, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 25, 2005 Please set the Dim Over Voltage Contol to +.2 Volts and test the suspect module with http://www.memtest.org and if you do still get errors, please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it!

leviathan1 Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 It isn't giving errors now. Thanks for the help. What has causing the problem? Do 4 modules cause some sort of undervolt effect? Too much power being pulled? Thanks, --Leviathan1 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 It's not uncommon to have to add a bit more voltage because of loading on the buss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
