Onji Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I purchased a pack of 2 x 1gb memory modules: (VS2GBKIT400C3) from zipzoomfly.com late november '05 I was not able to use the memory until recently. I am using the memory in an ABIT IS7 board, in dual channel mode. It boots fine, but the system will reboot, blue screen, freeze randomly. OS = XP Pro. I have not tried adjusting any BIOS settings. I can put some other Kingston ram in and it works fine. What BIOS settings do you suggest i try? Also, I just read about testing my ram with memtest86, I will try that after I get the suggested BIOS settings. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onji Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 Ok after reading these forums all day, I went home and tried several different configurations. Differing timings, voltages etc (nothing above 2.7v) I got memtest86 and tested each stick of ram seperately, and I definately have a bad stick. I got about 15000 errors in a matter of 20 seconds. The other stick tested perfectly with no errors. What is the next step? RMA? Since I bought this as a kit, is it possible to just return the bad stick for replacement instead of both? Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
