Sully Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Computer was working fine for three months. Then it would not boot up. No hardware changes. No bios updates, etc. Nothing changed. I replaced the motherboard and video card (seperatly). Same problem. Reformatted hard drive, still the computer would not boot. Finally, I sat there, with the PSU pluged into the mobo, with one stick of ram, the video card, and after 15 seconds (or so, i was completly out of ideas) the computer booted. I swapped RAM's nothing. Both RAMs. nothing. Back to the single, it works fine. The computer will not boot with the bad ram, or both sticks of ram. I would simply RMA the RAM to newegg, but I have already had my computer "down" and not working for returns on the motherboard and videocard. How can I get this one stick of RAM replaced?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 24, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 24, 2006 I am sorry about that as it has to have limits to release the pages other wise the cache on the server will fill up and become to slow. But I will ask to look at the time it waits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 Yeah I would be willing to bet it's 60 seconds. Needs to be double that, at least :) Looks like I am getting my 1 module RMA'd through the express service. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Got replacement RAM and computer will still not boot. New Mobo, new Video Card, and new ram, and still the second ram will not boot (not by itself or secondary). Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 7, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 7, 2006 Thre has to be some other problem, can you test the modules in another system? All of our modules are tested in a MB at the rated speed before they leave our factory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 Memory works in another system! But I had an early raid time last night, so I didn't get to test it back in my system. Going to pull the cmos battery and try it. Then perhaps flash the mobo bios. After that, RAM the motherboard, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 10, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 10, 2006 You might see if a friend can help you test your CPU in another MB. But please let us know how you make out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
