MyBadMem Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I have 4 Corsair XMS XPERT dims. I've ran all four of them for over a month (system has been running 24x7) without any problems. Two of them have now died. Two of these four dimms came from a different lot and have a different version. One of each lot and version has died, while the other one from the same lot and version still works just fine. What's happened? Did I do something wrong?

Wired Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 What's the exact part # of each stick? What slot was each stick in? Test one stick at a time in each slot using Memtest86+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyBadMem Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 Not sure which is the part# on the memmory, but one's v1.1 and the other's v3.4. I downloaded and tried using memtest, but I think that's a little too advanced for me. Any other way to test it? Also, I forgot to mention, I did have the LED displays plugged into both dimms at once. 2 displays covering all 4 dims. Is that a bad thing to do?

Wired Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 How To Read the Memory Label Part Number. MemTest is easy. Pop the CD or floppy in, boot from it, that's it. It runs by itself. Read the instructions that come with the memory. The XPERT LED displays are not meant to run while connected to more than one stick. The 2 sticks that don't work, were they connected to the same XPERT LED display? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
