Unidan Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I have an Asus K8VSE Deluxe with an AMD Athlon 64 2800+ overclocked to 2ghz. Currently it has one stick of Value Select 512mb DDR400 in DIMM1. I bought another 512 of the exact same type from newegg not long ago and it seemed to work at first until I started getting bluescreens and hundreds of memory errors in memtest. I RMA'd it and sent it back to Corsair, and just recieved a new (I think) stick of the same type, I installed it in DIMM2 and I couldn't even get to the XP user login screen before I got a bluescreen and had to reboot. I then proceeded to DIMM3 and no luck there. I took out my old 512 in DIMM1 and put the new stuff in that slot, another bluescreen. Put the old memory back in and I'm fine. What is going wrong? Is it possible to ask for a refund so I can buy something a little better than these defective value selects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 11, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 11, 2005 Can you tell me the bios settings you have set for both CPU and memory and any performance settings that you may have set? And what slots do you have them in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unidan Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 The old memory is in DIMM1, I've tried the new stuff in all slots, by itself and with the old memory.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 11, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 11, 2005 I would not suggest over clocking untill we make sure one is not failing. And I would set the memory voltage to 2.7 Volts minimum and if you over clock set it to 2.8 Volts. And with 2 modules the modules should be in slots 1-3 or 2-3.

Unidan Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 The increase in voltage seemed to do the trick, I'm running on 2.7 at the moment, I attempted 2.8 with my original overclocking settings, but unfortunately got bluescreens. I'm slightly overclocking at 210MHz FSB, and there seems to be no problems. Thanks Ramguy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
