Bad Stick VS512MB400

[CraigNewman]

I have a bad stick of VS512MB400. After operating for about 6 months, I began having problems with intermittent crashes. By troubleshooting, I isolated this stick as causing the problem, testing failed with Microsoft’s Memory Diagnostic Tool, and removed it. The crashes have stopped.

 

I’ve since inserted this memory stick alone in a new ASUS/AMD 3200+ system and ran Microsoft’s Windows Memory Diagnostic tools. During a ten hour test, the tool reported eight failures.

Please load setup/optimized defaults and then 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.
