Morgan00 Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I've got 2 x CMX512-3200 XLPT (XMS 3200) and have been seeing a steady decline in corruption in downloads, disk installs and general crashes. At first I put it down to a failing hard drive but upon further testing (mem test 86) i discovered the upper portion of the 1gb config to be corrupt (from 512-1024) Stick no.2 was full of errors by the 5th test no less than 66,000 errors were reported. I swapped out the sticks and tested each one on its own and the problem was with the single stick and not the pair. I've isolated the case to problematic stick and would like a replacement. Im simply posting my case here as the RMA form require the reference no. (kinda annoying but i guess it removes case that dont actual require RMA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan00 Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 I probably should of mention in more detail when i purchased the RAM (in my RMA i simply stated decemember) It was Decemember 2004 so the memory is little over 1 year 1 month old and has seen no problems during that time span.

Wired Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 The post ID # is to show that you've talked to someone from Corsair. In otherwords, the post ID doesn't matter until Ram Guy's approved it. However, the TSXPress link is automated, no post ID # needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan00 Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 I got further problems, i tried running World Of Warcraft (a memory intensive game) and im getting memory location error messages. I run the 2nd stick through an extensive mem test 86 and found errors in the upper regions of 500mb... (probably why i dont have any problems using windows or less memory intensive applications). I guess im going to need to RMA both sticks :confused: hope i got some spare RAM to get my work done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 10, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 10, 2006 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...
