Blackadder Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I just tried installing a set of Corsair TWINX2048-3200C2pt I bought from newegg and when I installed it I got beeping from my computer and it shut down. I removed all the old and new ram and tried getting the computer to boot with only the two new sticks of RAM and got beeping and a shutdown. I installed one of the new RAM sticks and was able to boot to BIOS and tried setting the RAM timing. I was able to get the computer to start the boot sequence and almost made it into Windows when the computer shut itself off. I swapped to the other stick and all I got was a few beeps and a computer shutdown. I tried moving the two sticks together to the other duel slots and that didn't work. Still got beeping and shutdown before the BIOS booted up. I tried clearing the BIOS to reset the computer and that didn't work. I removed the new RAM and put my old RAM back in and now can't get my computer to boot up. It just beeps and shuts off. My system: ABIT AV8 Socket 939 Dual DDR 4 (w/newest Bios. I flashed it on 4/19/2006) Athlon 64 3200 (939) EVGA e-GeForce 6800 GS CO (DDR 3, 256MB, AGP 8x) AG 480W 12v Intel P4 ATX Power Supply WD 60GB IDE HD SATA 250GB HD Plextor SATA DVDR/RW PX-716SA My original ram is Corsair TWINX1024-3200PT(2x512) DDR 400 Numbers on each label says the following: CMX512-3200PT XMS3202v5.1 0447061-7 xms3200 512MB 400MHz 3.3.3.8 The new RAM I got today has the following on the side of them: CMX1024-3200C2PT XMS3202v1.2 0615115-1 XMS3200 1024MB 400MHz CL2 My computer was running fine but I was noticing some hesitation in some video games so wanted more RAM. Everything worked until I put in the new RAM and now I can't even boot it to the BIOS as it just beeps and shuts down. Is the new RAM not compatible, broke, or did my Motherboard just crap out? How do I get my computer back up using my old RAM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 21, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 21, 2006 First thing, you cannot mix memory with this MB, I would suggest you reset the bios with just one of the new modules and then see if it will post and let you into the bios then load setup/optimized defaults and set the memory Voltage to 2.75 Volts, and set the timings to the tested settings Cas 2-3-3-6 and test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org.

Blackadder Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 I tried and it appears only one of the RAM sticks works. I have sent them RMA back to Newegg for a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackadder Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 I received my new RAM sticks about two months ago. So far they work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
