Sub Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Hey, i've got an Asus A8N Sli Premium, with (previously) 1.5GB of XMS3200XL which runs fine. however i ordered another 512mb of the 3200XL and got, a Silver XMS3200XLPT, and it seemed to work fine, but ever since then my system has randomly Blue Screened with IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. it's totaly intermitent and does it if and when it pleases. i've tried a repair install, i've tried new bios, complete full, and a low level format. all driver versions. and then i tried taking it out, and it stopped doing it. so i left it for a bit, and then thought i'd double check and put it back in, sure enough.. it's started doing it again So what's the next step? Cheers in advance. SuB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted May 8, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 8, 2006 Can you tell me our modules part# and revision of all of your modules? (How To Read the Memory Label) And the make and model of MB you have along with the CPU speed and it’s FSB as well? In addition, please tell me the bios settings you have set for both CPU and memory and any performance settings that you may have set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted May 8, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 8, 2006 Current motherboard settings are (this is 1.5GB currently) I need the part# and revision of all of your modules like CMX512-3200XL, and how many of each? In other words you say you have 1.5 Gig of memory and that you baught another one, so does that mean you have 3 512 Meg sticks or 2-256 Meg and 2-512 Meg sticks?

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted May 8, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 8, 2006 OK now for the main questions, What is your CPU speed (CPU Core E4 or E6) what do you have the memory and CPU settings set to? You know that you may have to run the memory frequency at DDR333 depending on the CPU you have, right? And I really doubt you will be able to run at Cas 2-2-2-5 at DDR400 with 4 modules installed. I would suggest Cass 2.5-3-3-7 at 2.8 Volts at 2t Command rate. But to be sure one is not failing please test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 What is your CPU speed (CPU Core E4 or E6) it's Revision DH-E6 what do you have the memory and CPU settings set to? You know that you may have to run the memory frequency at DDR333 depending on the CPU you have, right? it's running with the 333 divider at the moment, so yes, CPU HTT is 280 RAM is 229 And I really doubt you will be able to run at Cas 2-2-2-5 at DDR400 with 4 modules installed. I would suggest Cass 2.5-3-3-7 at 2.8 Volts at 2t Command rate. its running 2.5-3-3-7 2T with 2.8v at the moment But to be sure one is not failing please test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org i'll have to do this tomorrow, lots of uni work tonight i've tried it all at stock with all 4 sticks and it still BSOD's with the PT stick put in. stock being 200Mhz, 1:1 CPU:RAM etc thanks again for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted May 8, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 8, 2006 Please test the one at a time at the tested settings with http://www.memtest.org to make sure one is not failing. If they all pass one up then I would look for some other problem, like maybe a weak PSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 ok will do, but i have a Tagan 580W Sli cert psu, so i doubt that's the problem, the rails and voltages are all rock solid on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted May 8, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 8, 2006 Ok please let me know how you make out, and just for reference, I would do a search on this forum and see what other users had to say about that PSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
