dallasr Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I started smelling a burnt smell in my computer when i powered up and turned it off. My computer wouldn't turn on after this. I put all 4 GB's of RAM in another computer to check it and the computer turned on. After about a minute, the computer restarted itself and continuously restarted itself after that. I turned off the computer and began checking the RAM one at a time until I found the culprit. The computer wouldn't boot at all when this one bad chip was installed. I believe a voice, if my memory is correct, came through my speakers stating something about a CPU OVERCLOCKING malfunction or something. The 2nd computer works fine with the other 3 sticks installed The RAM is VALUESELECT DDR2 PC2-4200 SDRAM. The part number on the stick is VS1GB533D2. I'm positive the stick is bad, but any help or advice will be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 4, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 4, 2006 Please load setup/optimized defaults and then set the Dim Voltage to 2.0 volts and then leave the timings set to Auto or By "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.
