sriehl Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I have an Asus A8N-E with 2 VS1GB400C3 sticks in for a total of 2 Gb. Occasionally the machine locks up completly in Win XP at random times, could be browsing, playing a game, or I just come back to my desk and the machine is frozen. I ran the memtest on the 2Gb and it found errors, I then ran the memtest on each stick individually and 1 stick appeared to be bad. I have been running with the one "good" stick and the machine locked up again last night. I'm not overclocking and I have the BIOS memory set to "auto". Any ideas of what the problem might be????

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 8, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 8, 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.

sriehl Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 1) I dont see an option in my BIOS for DIMM voltage. 2) I dont see an option to do "by SPD" 2) what does CAS 3-3-3-8 mean, I have probaly 7 or 8 different memory timings that can be tweaked in the bios.... which do these correspong to????
