ikliomve Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I've been having this issue for months now but have been too lazy to do anyhting about it. My system randomly restarts and i frequently get the blue screen of death whenever i am playing games, (world of warcraft). Before I was using Corsairs Valueram and never experienced any problems until I switched to this XMS. So I ran memtest as you suggested for a full hour and 15 minutes. Got 12 errors total. I have an athlon 64 3400+ on an Asus K8V SE Deluxe. memtest said my settings were: Ram: 200 mhz (ddr400) cas 2.5-3-3-8, single channel. now i don't know why it would say i am running on single channel because i ahve my ram in dimm slots 1 and 3 as the book says for dual channel. Luckily my roommate has 512 of XMS the same ram (2x256) and i swapped out mine for his and did what i usually do without any problems, i also went back and tried by value ram as well and that was fine. rma this or do you have a solution to my problems ram guy?

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 15, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 15, 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...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 19, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 19, 2005 ECC should be disabled! and I would set the memory voltage to 2.7 Volts. And with this MB I would go back to bios 1.005 or 1.009 and install the modules in slots 1-3 or 2-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikliomve Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 hmm, okay i'll try disabling the ecc and hopefully that works fine. i'll let you know later, my current bios is 1006. but i looked for 1009 like you said but the newest is 1008. still okay i assume?

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 20, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 20, 2005 Try the main Ftp site: ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb but it looks to be down right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikliomve Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 Okay so I disabled the ECC and ran teh system. It was going very well at first, I was able to play 3 hours straight of World of Warcraft (don't laugh) and I could never do that before. But then it crashed again. You metioned to put the voltage at 2.7 for the DDR. is that the factory setting? I thought stock it was supposed to be 2.6. I don't want to void my warrenty or anything by doing that so please advise. Also one more question, I think I'll add an extra stick of the same ram but 256 instead of 512. What slots should I put them in? 2 512's and 1 256. All are the same ram, 3200C2PT XMS 3200. I want to run the 2 512s at dual and have the extra 256 for kicks. Thanks Ram Guy. So far so good!

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 21, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 21, 2005 You should not use the 256 meg module with this MB it will force the memory frequency at DDR200 or DD333. And we gaurentee our DDR1 modules up to 2.9 Volts with 2.75 Volts suggested for most MB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
