cmullin Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I have the following msi 865pe neo2 motherboard intel p4 2.8 gig processor leadtek geforce 5950 video card western digital 120gig hard drive 2 sticks of corsair ddr3200 module part # - CMX512 - 3200C2 bios settings - I never changed anything so it would be the default settings, and I'm not sure if these are the settings you need, but here goes :) performance mode - normal cpu ratio selection - locked dram frequency - auto adjust cpu bus clock (mhz) - 200 ddr clock (mhz) - 400 cpu vcore adjust no cpu voltage(V) - 1.525 ddr power voltage - 2.60V I just got a new stick of ram today from an RMA that i did. I put it in the computer (with my working stick of ram) and up pops a blue screen when it tries to load windows. So I tried the new stick of RAM alone in the computer, and the computer would reboot once it tried to load windows. I decided to test the new ram with memtest....and it failed. Just to make sure, in the same motherboard slot, I tested my old (working) stick of ram, and no failures for it. Why does the new ram that I just got from corsair from an RMA, fail the memory tests? Since I double checked the same motherboard slot with a working stick of ram and had no problems, it would seem that it's not the motherboard...

cmullin Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 And please make sure that both modules are the same revision. I upped the ddr voltage to 2.7 and at least it didn't reboot before windows had finished booting up...but it would still reboot randomly while I was doing anything on the computer. The revision doesn't match because the original ram I had was xms3202v1.1; one stick was rma'd, so the new one is xms3202v1.5. So I still have one of the original version which doesn't match the new one entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 13, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 13, 2005 Please set the Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts and then set the timings to Cass 2.5-3-3-7 and test them in DC. If you have errors please run the test in single channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
