Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 18, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 18, 2006 Can you tell me 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...
yna1446 Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 ok fic am37 with vlb44 bios fsb 133. cpu amd xp2400+ all the bios settings are default (I do not overclock anything) and I have two matched sticks (2x512) and the error is only in the one and not the other. I have tried the test with both sticks and each stick alone. one passes and the other fails. they have both been working until recently when I started receiving random errors in programs and bsod. I have run the windows memory diagnostic and it failed on the test mats+(details in previous post) I have since removed the bad stick and the failures have gone (I am just slower). Can I please have an RMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 18, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 18, 2006 With that CPU and MB you will have to manually configure the Bios or you might get errors. Please try these settings and test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org. CPU Freq: 133 MHz System Performance: User Define Memory Frequency: 100% Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts Resulting Frequency: 133MHz Memory Timings: Manual/User Define SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.5T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yna1446 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 all of those settings are the default settings. the memory passes memtest but the same stick fails on windows memory diagnostic (like i said in the first post). one stick passes and the other fails. if i run the computer with the passing stick it runs fine. if i run the computer with both or the bad stick it get bsod's. why is it so hard to get an rma from corsair? i have a bad memory stick! i do this for a living i know how to spot bad memory.
