Bad Ram

Recommended Posts

While playing a game I smelled a familiar smell, the smell that all techies know, the smell of burning electronics. Turned my pc off and after hours of trouble shooting, I found out that one of my sticks of ram has burnt out, a couple of the gold pins on the memory chip burned. I was wondering if that was an issue with the corsair XMS3200 512mb 400MHZ stick? Do they randomly burn up, or is it just my bad luck.:confused:

Isn't there a lifetime warrenty on Corsair ram?

More than likely the DIMM slot this module was using is bad. Please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it! Please install the replacement module on a different slot.
