Snowblind Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Alienware does not cover Memtest86 errors, but I'm getting a couple blue screens few and far between so I tested my RAM w/ Memtest86 and I got 3 errors. Does Corsair cover RAM for Memtest86? and can I get an RMA from Corsair directly? Thanks. 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 That might suggest some other problem. 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...
Snowblind Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 I'm pretty sure my BIOS is fine... here are the settings I figured were important: CPU Frequency - 166MHz Multiplyer - 12.5 Memory Frequency - Auto (166MHz) Memory Timings: 2-3-2-5 FSB Spread Spectrum - Disabled AGP Spread Spectrum - Disabled CPU Vcore - 1.650v DDR Reference Voltage - 2.6v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 6, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 6, 2006 Set the memory voltage to 2.7 Volts and test the modules with http://www.memtest.org. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowblind Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 I upped the voltage to 2.7v with timings of 2-3-2-5 and I'm running Memtest86+ right now... an error just showed up (not sure if more will come... since it's still running). But is memtest86+ enough confirmation for an RMA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
