FreeKnight Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I bought a set of corsair memory (Twin2x1024-5400C4) through Tigerdirect.com on 12/08/05. After setting up my system I loaded the two modules into the slots and turned on the power. The system powered up but the screen recieved no video signal, which by the manual indicated bad memory. I mixed around different possitions and found that it would only boot into Bios with only one stick in the motherboard. I tried the other one singly, and it would not boot. Since this is the only ram my system is currently running on, I would prefer to return only one of the two sticks if possible. I have the original package, and will use it for the return. System info: Intel D945Gtp Intel Pentium D 820 2.8 GHz Antec TruePower 2.0 430W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 16, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 16, 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...
FreeKnight Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 I have the system running on default settings. The processor is running at full speed (2.8GHz). The memory however was running at SPD settings of 5-5-5-15 with no problems except for the bad stick. I tried 4-4-4-12 with the same result (one works the other does not). The system is not running on overclocked speeds or unecessary settings as far as I can tell. If it is, then the motherboard is not allowing me to set it.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 16, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 16, 2005 Please set the memory voltage to a minimum of 1.9 Volts and if you have the option I would set it to 2.1 Volts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeKnight Posted December 18, 2005 Author Share Posted December 18, 2005 My motherboard neither tells me the voltage the ram is at nor gives me the option to change it. I'm still convinced that one of the sticks is bad because under all of the same conditions, one stick will allow the computer to boot, while the other will not. Is it possible to get an RMA number?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 19, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 19, 2005 Let's get them both replaced. But if you cannot set the voltage I would suspect that these modules may not run in this MB. Please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part! Or *New* Tech Support Express” and we will be happy to replace them or it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeKnight Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 My motherboard is an Intel D945Gtp which is listed in your database as being compatible with these memory mdoules. Also, I said before that one of the modules seems to be working fine, I'm typing to you on the computer running on it. I also ran memtest and it passed 8 passes. On the same note, I would like to return only the faulty one, seeing as I would be without a computer if I had to return both. If this is not possible then please let me know.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 20, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 20, 2005 If you return only one module you will no longer have a matched set. I would encourage you to send both, and yes these modules are compatible with the chipset, however the Mb makers are all different as to the options they give and these modules have a minimum suggested voltage of 1.9 Volts which would need to be manually set. You might check with Intel and see if they have that setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
