linkz01 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I think I may severel bad modules. It wouldnt hurt to try to send them all back I suppose. Here is my problem: I keep getting random skips and stutters in 3d games and I have replaced my vid card and mobo/cpu. the only things I havent replaced are the psu and harddrive (along with the ram). What would cause these skips and stutters and how can I determine if it is the RAM and how can I determine which module(s) are defective? Thanks :) I have 4 gigs of vs512mb400 and I would like to send a gig back at a time if that is ok (so I can still use my comp while 2 modules are off). :D Btw, any possible idea what would cause this horrible random stuttering? I will also need an ram is possible :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 14, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 14, 2005 Can you tell me the bios settings you have set for both CPU and memory and any performance settings that you may have set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linkz01 Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 I have also gotten some "memory cannot be read errors" but I wonder if it is also the ram causing this graphical stutter/jutter/skipping. I have never had this problem before and as I said, I have replaced pretty much every other piece of hardware so it MUST somehow be the ram. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Try with these timings: CAS Latency (tCL): 3 RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 4 Row Precharge (tRP): 4 Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 8 2T Command Rate: Enabled Memory Voltage: 2.75 Volts All other settings to defaults. You also may want to test one stick at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
