Hodapp87 Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Hello... I bought two 512 MB ValueSelect DDR400 sticks in June. Everything worked fine until later October when random hard crashes started to occur. I am not overclocking; everything is cooled properly and is running at a normal speed. The crashes only proceeded to become more frequent. What I tried: - Checking all temperatures in my system; nothing was over 120 F. - memtest86+ for 10 hours, which strangely revealed no errors - cpuburn-in for 10 hours, which revealed no errors - Switching to a different operating system; running in textmode only - Memory tests from the Knoppix LiveCD (no errors, but they made it crash) - Reducing the system down, one part at a time - Moving RAM to different slots What this eventually produced was that one particular Corsair RAM stick was causing the crashes; near the end of the testing, plugging it in would often crash the system within 15 minutes. I haven't yet run memtest86+ again because I required the computer for work and didn't want to risk crashing it at a critical time. Thanks, -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 12, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 12, 2005 Please set the Dim Voltage to 2.7X volts (+.2 Volts W/Giga-Byte) and then set the timings to if you have Value Select "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.
