loganb Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Ok so I'm in the process of building a new system, and while the original memory I bought for this system that isn't corsair is being RMA'ed, yes I know, should've went corsair, but I'm trying something new. But back back to the point, I'm trying to get 2 older sticks of borrowed Corsair VS256MB400C3 to work with my DFI Lanparty nF4 Sli-DR and Athlon 64 3200. I sold the sticks I had in the last system, so I'd really like to get these working and stable as I don't want to have to buy new memory when I've already got 2GB of RAM being RMA'ed. As long as I have the divider set down to 1/2 it will work ok, at least boot into windows and let me surf the net and do email. However when I try to run prime95, 3dmark, backup my system onto DVD's, or play any even slightly memory intensive games it restarts on me. I've tried playing with all the settings I can think of, but I just can't get it too work. Is this ram just too old and the board being a high performance board just too picky to work well together???? If anyone has any suggestions on timings or settings for this to work until I can get my new memory back that would be great, but at this rate with all the trouble I'm having with the brand I won't mention I'll probably be back to corsair very quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 3, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 3, 2005 What bios version do you have? Should be the -1 bios and I would install the modules and load setup defaults and then set the memory voltage to 2.7 Volts and test the system with http://www.memtest.org.
