Sirvs Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I have 2 1gb siticks of VS1GB400C3 and one has gone bad. At first it would randomly reboot my system no questions jsut reboot it would try to reboot as it was rebooting believe it or not. I took out one stick of ram worked fine put the stick into another slot did it again. I tried jsut reformating thinking it was software. It would not even boot the windows disk. It booted it fine with the other stick. I ran a PC Tester and it found a Microtopology failure. I took out the bad stick ran the test again no failures. any suggestions or can i get an RMA? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 2, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 2, 2006 Please set the Dim Voltage to 2.7X volts (+.2 Volts W/Giga-Byte) and then set the timings manually to the tested settings for the specific module you have, XMS2700C2 Cass 2-3-3-6 for example or 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.

Sirvs Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 how do i set the voltage on it and everything? its not a problem with both of them its only a problem with one so no worry about that i dont think mine is by spd doesnt say anything about it i did run that memtest on it that didnt find anything but my friend made me a disk that had the memtest that didnt find anything and another PC tester under the same menu so i assume its all memtest and that is what stated that it failed the microtopology test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 3, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 3, 2006 Just go to the bios setup and then load setup/Optimized defaults then set the memory voltage to 2.7 Volts and exit saving changes and let memtest run for 2 passes per module to be sure its not a memory problem.
