cpadayachee Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Well I posted another message about a week ago concerning my motherboard and the Corsair Ram I just bought, couldn't get it to work until almost two days ago, and finally everything works until today, I had come home from work and switched the PC on, and was listening to some music, surfing the internet and had a newsbin window open at the same time and bam.... it froze... and I had a sick feeling in my stomach thinking here I go again. That being said, the Corsair guy told me to change the following settings, first I will list the settings for my other ram( 2 x 256 mb PC 2700 and 1 x 512mb PC 2700) CAS = 2.5 tRC = 10 tRFC = 12 tRCD = 3 TRRD = 2 tRAS = 7 tRP = 3 tWR = 3 tWTR = 1 tRWT = 4 tREF = 2 x 2592 The Corsair guy on the phone had me change the tRAS = 8, and change the voltage settings from "normal" to 0.2v.... that got the RAM to work, but is there anything I need to change to make the system more stable since it froze a second time tonight running a virus scan or should I just check the connections? *Woke up this morning after having run Mem test( on corsair memory) for 7hrs with everything being checked out as okay: here is some of the information CAS: 2.5 - 4 - 3 - 8 (I know the first number is cas, what are the other three) - settings for the corsair memory DDR(402) RAM: 201mhz Single Channel 64bits ECC Disabled Voltage at 0.2v Despite all of this the crashes continued to get worse so I had to pull the corsair ram and go back to my old ram
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted July 28, 2005 Corsair Employee Posted July 28, 2005 If you have 3 modules all from different makers installed I would try and set the memory frequency at DDR333 and see if that helps make the system more stable.. If you continue to have problems I would test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org to make sure one is not failing.
cpadayachee Posted July 28, 2005 Author Posted July 28, 2005 Sorry for the confusing post RamGuy, what I was trying to say is that the corsair ( 2 x 512mb pc 3200) ram caused the instability or rather it was was alright once I got it working then the freezing/crashing got worse and worse so that I had to take it out and put in my old ram
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted July 28, 2005 Corsair Employee Posted July 28, 2005 Oh I see :confused: Sorry! Please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it!
