Shadis777 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I've been having intermittent problems with my system and it all seems to stem from the memory modules. I have been running MemTest and have so far received the following errors: Error found with word pair # 60776529 or 60776486 (either could be the source) Error found with word pair # 60776685 or 60776486 (either could be the source) error found with word pair 607764861 values 1875668483 and 1842114051 do not match I have an Albatron PX915P/G Motherboard with the latency settings set to 2.5-3-3-6 with a P4 3.6 GHz with HT. What should I do next? Thanks, Nev 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 Can you tell me the bios settings you have set for both CPU and memory and any performance settings that you may have set? And please use http://www.memtest.org to test the modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadis777 Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 The CPU settings are default settings, I have not changed any of those. The memory settings are set to manual using in the timings 2.5-3-3-6 as detailed in on the Corsair board settings portion of the site. And I was using the memtest from the memtest.org site and those are the errors listed on my post. Here is the latest error since I have been running it since this morning: error found with word pair 60776499 or 60776486 either could be the source 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 set the Dim Voltage to 2.75 Volts and test with http://www.memtest.org and please just use the default tests. (1-7) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadis777 Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 Please set the Dim Voltage to 2.75 Volts and test with http://www.memtest.org and please just use the default tests. (1-7) The options for DDR Voltage in the CMOS are: Default, +0.1, +0.2, +0.3, +0.4 though no where in the users guide does it say what the default voltage is. The MotherBoard is an Albatron PX925P/G Series board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadis777 Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 While I was not able to find the defaults for that board I did change the Memory Frequency from 333 MHz to 400 MHz. I also downloaded the most current version of my bios and flashed it. I am running the memory test that you linked now. Will update this thread with any errors or a successful result.

Shadis777 Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 It went through a single pass of all 8 default tests without error. I did not change the tests from the default setting. Is one complete pass adequate enough? 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 2-3 passes should be enough to show a bad module, and I would suggest you set the Dim Voltage to +.2 Volts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadis777 Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 I changed the DDR Voltage to +0.2 as you suggested and ran the memory test run over night. The result was 5 errors. The detail had it as such Pass 0, Test 7, Failing Address 0001ec980b8 - 492.5MB, Good fe93671e, Bad fc93671e, Err-Bits 02000000, Count 3 Pass 22, Test 5, Failing Address 0001ec984b8 - 492.5MB, Good fd7fffff, Bad ff7fffff, Err-Bits 02000000, Count 1 Pass 22, Test 5, Failing Address 0001fc98498 - 508.5 MB, Good fd7fffff, Bad ff7fffff, Err-Bits 02000000, Count 1 The Summary said: Test 4 - Errors 1 Test 5 - Errors 2 Test 7 - Errors 2 I just changed the DDR Voltage back to default and am re-testing, I will let it run through 4 passes and post the results.

Shadis777 Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 Ok, I have completed 5 passes on the Memtest with the DDR Voltage set to Default without error. Should I still follow the “I think I have a bad part!” link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 26, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 26, 2005 That would suggest there is some other problem, if you still have trouble with the modules I would suggest testing them in another system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadis777 Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 Any suggestions on what could be causing the error? I need to know where I should investigate next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 26, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 26, 2005 This would normally suggest a power problem either in the PSU or on the MB and testing the modules in another system would help isolate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadis777 Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 I replaced the Power Supply and everything seems to run fine now. I adjusted the DDR Voltage to +0.2 and ran the memory test for 3 passes with no errors. So it seems that it was the PSU causing the problem in the first place. Should I keep the DDR Voltage at +0.2 or change it back to default? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 28, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 28, 2005 Yes, I would as Giga-Byte tends to under Volt the memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
