QuickPGT Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Well after a long time of fault-free service my Corsair ram has apparently bit the dust. It is a Value Select 512mb PC133 module (Model # VS512MB133-024819) which I have owned for a good amount of time now. I first noted problems with the memory back in December when I installed Half-Life 2. The game would run for a few minutes and would then lock-solid. I didn't really know what it was so I first updated all relevant drivers and the problem persisted. The problem I found had then spread to tasks other than HL2, for example my computer would randomly lock-up in windows which it had never done before. I then started diagnosing hardware. I mix and matched my sticks of ram until I found a combination in which my computer did not lock up in any circumstance. The working combination did not include my Corsair ram, so I pretty much knew at that point what was going on. I then ran memtest86 on all the ram I currently had in the system and found no errors. I then swapped in my corsair ram only and ran the test again and found a LOT of errors. After this I just placed my ram in the packaging I still had for it and it sat on my desk for many months. So now I am finally getting around to see if I can get this ram replaced, it says lifetime warranty on the packaging so I figured I'd give it a shot. From my understanding I need to complete an RMA request form, and in order to do that I need proof of contacting technical support through these forums. Any help in this matter would be very greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
