GypsySmurf Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Hello, My motherboard is an Albatron PX845PEV Pro, and I've been using Corsair CMX512-C2PT ver 2.2 memory I bought when I build my computer. It's worked great, so just last week I ordered a new stick to help handle some of the newer games I've been playing. The new stick is version 4.3. When I put it in my system, it locks up on boot-up. I juggled the sticks around my 3 memory slots, and never got them to work together. At the boot screen, my system has only shown 512mb being in there, never a gig. Is this new stick not compatible with the exact same stick of the old, just because they're different versions? Either stick works fine by itself in my system, just not together. I need to know whether to just give up and return the memory while I can, or what's going on. Thanks for any help. -Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 23, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 23, 2005 Please make sure that you have the latest BIOS for your MB and load Setup/Optimized default settings, and try the following BIOS settings; CMX1024 or CMX512 or CMX256A-3200C2 CPU Freq: 133 MHz (533 FSB) System Performance: User Define Memory Frequency: 125%/2:3 ratio Resulting Frequency: 166 MHz (333 FSB) Memory Timing: User Define SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.5T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 7T DDR Reference Voltage: 2.75 Volts AGP Voltage: Default *unless you have ATI (9200 or 9600) or NVIDIA (5200 or 5700) then 1.6 Volts suggested!* All other settings are motherboards defaults Then please test them one at a time with http://www.memtest.org and let’s make sure it's not some other issue! I would run the test for at least 2-3 passes to be sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
