Prowl Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I've had this RAM in the system for about 5 months now and it works fantastic, today during a game of BF2 the system just hung, on reboot it fails the memory test every time. I yanked one stick and it boots again, swapped the sticks over and it fails to boot. Tried to run memtest with the dodgy stick but the motherboard won't let it get past the "system failed memory test". The other stick is seemingly working ok. Is there anything else I can check before submitting an RMA?

Daigoro Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Hi, something very similar happened to me. I got my memories yesterday. Everything was working alright, until I played BF2, too. The game crashed, so I had to restart the computer. Then, it just beeped. I tested both sticks on all the three slots and one of them is working fine, but the other one just makes my computer beep whenever I turn it on. I tried to check compatibility problems, but even thogh Corsair web page says my motherboard (Abit NF7-S rev2.0) only takes up to 1.5GB RAM, the manual says it can take up to 2GB PC3200. I just don't know what happened and you can imagine how frustrated I am for not being able to use my memory the day after I got it. What should I do? Do I have warranty?

Prowl Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 for now it seems overclockers are not living up to their reputation for slow or poor service, I got an email at work authorising the RMA to them, which will save a fortune on sending it back to the states. I'll report back if there are any problems from here on in. bearing in mind I can't memtest if it fails the POST is there anything left for me to test before i send it back?
