GratefulDad Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 My fourth piece of XMS - No problems till now Started to randomly get Stop errors (BSOD) like 0X0000005 NTFS.SYS Found some references on web that said possible Bad RAM (I thought no way, not XMS ) Ran Memtest 3.2 overnite - 32 runs - 4 failed System was running at 6-3-3-2 did some searching - found this forum Found posts on this forum that suggested 6-3-3-2.5 for AMD and voltage of 2.7 Made changes, ran Memtest - failed on third test Pulled RAM, tried in my DELL Dimension 2400 - Celeron 2.0 P4 No POST - only beeps Don't have another DDR system to try in. Would Like RMA Sticker numbers : CMX5123200CPT XMS3202v4.2 0446123-3 XMS3200 512MB 400 MHz CL2 If replaced with same - should I still use 6-3-2.5 and 2.7v? Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 9, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 9, 2005 Please set these settings and test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org to be sure.

GratefulDad Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 Memtest 1.65 also shows errors with 2.5-3-3-6 @2.7volts Didn't mean to confuse - I only have one module that has failed. Is memtest86 1.65 more reliable than memtest3.2 ? Will the replacement RAM need to be set at 2.5-3-3-6 @ 2.7 I have a pair in a ASUS A7N8-Deluxe at 2-3-3-6 @ 2.7 The replacement will probably go back in the A7N8-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 There's 2 memtests out there: Memtest86+ (http://www.memtest.org/) (this is the one Corsair recommends) Latest Version: 1.65 (October 1, 2005) Based on the well-known original memtest86 written by Chris Brady, memtest86+ is a port by some members of the x86-secret team. Our goal is to provide an up-to-date and completly reliable version of this software tool aimed at memory failures detection. Memtest86 (http://www.memtest86.com/) Latest Version: 3.2 (November 11, 2004) Memtest86 is thorough, stand alone memory test for x86 architecture computers. BIOS based memory tests are a quick, cursory check and often miss many of the failures that are detected by Memtest86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 10, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 10, 2005 I would test the suspect module in your other system to be sure. Please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
