static_sun Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I purchased 2 of these cmx512's, at different times as I could afford them. Both from Best Buy. The first worked, a couple months later I bought the second and the two worked together (mostly fine) up until about a week ago when one finally died. I dont mess with overclocking, so they werent stressed. It started when I tried to boot and heard long spaced beeps. I wasnt certain if it were a memory, video, or cpu fault. I tore the pc apart and built it piece by piece until I got it to boot again with just one memory module. Then I put it the second and it work again, dual-channel n'all. It happened again several days ago. But now one of the modules doesnt work at all. I tried one stick, then the other. One worked. Together, it wont boot either. I tested the current working one today with memtest . No errors. This module is XMS3202v4.7 I think (4.?) The one that doesnt work anymore is v1.2. (lot # 0518018-1) I've gone through my bios and checked through all the settings, cas timings (2,3,3,6)-(3,3,3,8), voltage (2.7v) etc. so I'm all but certain that its just a faulty stick. As such, I'd like to request an RMA thanks 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 Have you tested the module in question alone? I would suggest you to run memtest on it if the system does post with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
static_sun Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 The system won't even boot with just the other stick installed. So I couldn't even attempt it. Works fine with my other CMX512 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
