mbennum Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I purchased the memory module on 3/11/05 from Newegg. It worked fine until a month or so ago, when my PC started randomly crashing or rebooting itself. If I took the vs512 out, (also have one 512mb Mushkin stick) it would run fine. So I purchased a replacement vs512 from Newegg (exact same thing) and now the pc runs fine (with 1 mushkin 512 and the new corsair vs512. I have run Memtest86, and it passes, but if I run MS's Windows Memory Diag, (both with only the "bad" ram in the pc) it fails one of the tests, don't remember which off the top of my head. I can run it again and post the exact results if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 17, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 17, 2005 With just this module installe please lod setup deafults and then set the Dim Voltage to 2.7X volts (+.2 Volts W/Giga-Byte) and then set the timings to "BY SPD" and then test the module/'s 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.

mbennum Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 Sorry, forgot to mention that I had already changed those bios settings based on reading some of your other posts here. I only get errors with the old module (the one I bought in March), the new one works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
