dingdong Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I bought myself a gig of ram from komplett a few months ago, every thing was running great for a short while then the pc slowed down. I thought it had to be a virus or something so I format it. It ran ok after formating it but still a bit on the slow side to what it was at first with the new ram. I ended up buying another gig of the same ram when i put the ram into the motherboard the first time it runs alright reads that theirs 2 gigs of ram. It then crashes after awhile and wont reboot or even switch on just beeps. The ram I bought was Corsair XMS PRO3200 DDR-DIMM 1024MB. My motherboard is a jetway 939agp Has anyone got any ideas what I should do? Thanks link for the ram: http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=310260&cks=PRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 4, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 4, 2006 CMX1024-3200C2PRO that is the part# Please set the Dim Voltage to 2.7X volts and then set the timings manually to the tested settings for the specific module you have, and then test the module/modules 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.

dingdong Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 I'll run memtest on them both. If I leave just one of the modules in the pc turns on no problem, This work with either one. Its only when I place the two together the the system wont power up. I'm think its more of a compatilbility problem with my MB than a problem with RAM. If this is the problem is their nothing I can do besides change the RAM. The only thing I found in the manual about install ram was the file I have attached would that have anything to do with it. The current setting in the BIOS are: DRAM CAS LATENCY : CL2.5 RAS ACTIVE TIME : 8T RAS TO CAS DELAY : 3T RAS PRECHARGE TIME 3T VRAM : 2.7v DRAM CLOCK AT NEXT BOOT IS 200MHz These are the only options I can change.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 4, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 4, 2006 Are the modules you have the exact same part# and revision? If so I would try them in another system to be sure. And if you are using slots 1-3 try them in slots 2-4 to see if that helps. But if they both work one up but not when installed together and the modules are exactly matched then I would suspect a CPU or MB problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingdong Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 Their both the same part# and rev. I tried them in 1-3 and 2-4 no difference. I just put some old memory I had PC2700 in 1-3 and it runs fine. I'll try them out in a friend machine if I can. Do you think I need a BIOS update?

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 7, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 7, 2006 Do you have the option to set the memory voltage? If so please set it to 2.7 Volts and test them one at a time with http://www.memtest.org if you have not done so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
