MisterBLC Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Hello, I have a matched pair of CMX512-3200C2P2 which I attempted to install into a brand new eMachines T3304 and the system was VERY unstable - constant hard lookups and reboots. However, when I replace the corsair memory with the original memory, I have no problems. There are no options within the bios to slow down the memory and it is not stable enough to run memtest. Please let me know what I need to do in order to get an RMA for these sticks. I had previously RMA'd this pair and again I am having problems. Perhaps the last pair were not actually replaced, seeing as they seem to have the same serial number.... Model Number: CMX512-3200C2PT XMS3202v1.5 Serial Number: 0516010-0 Brian Hickmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 2, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 2, 2006 Can you tell me the CPU speed and it’s FSB as well? In addition, please 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...
MisterBLC Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 I believe the CPU is a Sempron 3100+ or 3200+ so I don't know the frequency off the top of my head. Also, since this is an AMD processor, there is no FSB speed per se. Like I said before, there are no setting to change the speed of the CPU / Memory whatsoever in the bios, I am completely reliant on autodetection.

MisterBLC Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Also, the memory in the machine which I replaced was in fact PC3200. I forgot to mention this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 2, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 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.

MisterBLC Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 I am sorry, but I don't believe you are not understanding me. I CANNOT set any memory parameters what so ever in the bios as this is prebuilt machine. I cannot set the voltage, I cannot set timings, etc. I also have tried to run mem test, but it locks up regardless of which stick is in. I will follow the directions within your link to RMA it. Thank you. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 3, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 3, 2006 Then I am sorry these modules may not work with this system. Please look up your system on our memory configurator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
