Bee Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I purchased 2 Corsair CMX512-3200C2 sticks from Newegg a few months ago. I tried the memory in my older box: ASUS VM277 Duron 1.3 Win 2K Pro The sys was very unstable. My neighbor was just building a new system using an Intel Celeron (Prescott core). I attempted to sell him the memory but his system also became unstable. Answer ... Build a newer system. I just built a new box: ASROCK 989 DUAL (ULI BIOS v1.3) AMD 64 3500+ Radeon 9200 XT 2 WD 120GB HDs and the 2 Corsair memory modules Win XP The new system is taking memory dumps about 5 minutes after the sign on. Help!!!! :(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 11, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 11, 2005 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, 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. .

Bee Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 I apologize you are correct ASUS never made a VM277 it is the A7N266-VM. That is beside the point. The new PC is a ASROCK 939 Dual with 2 XMS3202 v1.5 (rev 1.5 I assume). The newest BIOS Uli BIOS is loaded (v1.3). CAS setting was set to AUTO so I changed it to 2.0. There was no where to set the voltage for the memory so I could set it to 2.7v. I also tured off Quite and Cool based on some other post I found on this site. The floppy I created with memtest (from memtest.org) would not boot, so I used the memtest product from microsoft. I ran the software with one memory stick and out of 23 passes I got 4 LRAND failures and 1 WMATS+ failure. I then loaded the second memory module into the same DRAM slot and got 3 LRAND"s and 1 WMATS+ in 15 passes. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 15, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 15, 2005 I think the setting for the voltage will be either normal or high set it to high. And you will have to check the user manual to find it. But normally it will be under Frequency and Voltage Control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
