mothman21 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Hi, I'm having trouble with my corsair twinx set of the above model number. I'm been receiving spontaneous restarts, BSODs (with varing stop error messges) and crashes to the desktop in Half-Life 2. I have tried many things, and believe I have a bad part. Perhaps there is more I could try before requesting an RMA. Here's what I've done so far: 1. Tried removing 1 module, so I am running at 512MB single channel. The system appears completely stable. I receive no BSODS, and no crashes in either HL2 or F.E.A.R. 2. Tried swapping modules (ie. switching their postions in the mainboard, and running one at a time). One module gives errors in memtest86+ at run times of over an hour while the other does not. 3. Tried applying the following memory related setting in the bios manually, as SPD does not give correct timings: -DRAM voltage: 2.8V (default is 2.7V) -SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.0T -SDRAM RAS to CAS delay (tRCD): 2T -SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 2T -SDRAM active to precharge delay (TRAS): 5T -SDRAM Bank interleave: Enable (there is no option in this bios for 4 Bank interleave) note-My Bios version is 1009 for the ASUS A8V Deluxe no matter what I try the problems return when using both memory modules in dual channel mode. Memtest gives well over 150,000 errors for a run time of just 20 minutes! Perhaps the memory times are simply too agressive for my mobo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mothman21 Posted December 18, 2005 Author Share Posted December 18, 2005 I received my new modules on Friday, and tested them with memtest86+ for several hours today. I found no errors with 14 passes, at which point the old modules would have many thousands. It appears the problems I was having while playing HL2 and Counter-Strike have cleared up. Thanks for all the help guys, I'm really pleased with the customer service!:biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
