dfoley Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I purchased (4) 512 MB CMX512-4000 Pro modules from NewEgg. I installed them in a Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe FX-55 based system. I am not overclocking the system at all and discovered that I was getting random BSOD. I eliminated all variables and narrowed it down to memory. I downloaded memtest and tested the memory. Sure enough, errors. I installed on stick at a time and narrowed it down to where 1 out of the 4 sticks is causing the error. How do I go about getting a RMA for the defective module.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 30, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 30, 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...
dfoley Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 Every thing is set up "stock" with auto settings on a A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 16, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 16, 2006 These modules have a minimum suggest Voltage of 2.75 Volts with one set and if you are running 2 sets of modules you will have to run the memory frequency at DDR333 and I would set the voltage to 2.8 Volts and set these timings and do not over clock. CPU Freq: 200 MHz System Performance: User Define Memory Frequency: 167 Mhz DDR333 Dim Voltage to 2.8 Volts Resulting Frequency: DDR333 Memory Timings: Manual/User Define SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.5T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 7T Then test the system with http://www.memtest.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfoley Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 I am installing one stick at a time and only one (1) of the four is showing memory errors with memtest. I am not overclocking. I have tried all of the settings you prescribe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
