Possible bad Twinx

Recommended Posts

I have been having crashing issue with my computer for sometime now. I finaly went ahead and upgraded most parts, and now the MB.

 

My old MB was a Gigibyte GA-8Sq800, the new one is a ALBATRON INTEL915P PX915P4C Pro.

 

For Memory I've been using Corsair TWINX512-3200LLPT 512MB DDR400 XMS3200.

 

With the new MB I still am having crashing issues. Mostly when running some of the newer games or heavy CPU work. I do not do any overclocking, and run XP SP2. I can make it fail everytime when trying to run one game called Guildwars.

 

I took out the CMX256A chips and put in a new set of TWINX1024-3200C2 DDR400 XMS3200. My system now seems to run fine and I can't make it crash.

 

Is there a test I can run to see if my CMX256A Twinx are bad? Or am I doing somthing else wrong?

 

tks

Please set the Dim Voltage to 2.7X volts and then set the timings manually to the tested settings for the specific module you have (Cass 2-3-2-6 with the Rass to Cass set to "3"), and then test the module/modules one at a time with www.memtest.org! If you still get errors, please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it! However, if you get errors with both modules that would suggest some other problem and I would test them in another system or MB to be sure.

Thanks, I did not set the memory when I built this machine and for somereasone the bois picked up settings of 2-2-2-6. It also had a +.02 voltage as factory default.

 

The Twinx512-3200LLPT fails the memory test software when run at these settings, but runs fine at 2-3-2-6 and +0.0 voltage.

 

If I am going to put both pairs (the twinx512-3200LLPT and the Twinx1024-3200C2) in my machine what settings should I run with?

 

tks

 

Now really happy I have a stable machine!!! Going to play around with some overclocking, but just glad to be at this point.
