SgtC Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Hi all, I have had my Corsair XMS memory for jsut over 8 months now and have been extremely happy with it. Then last week I booted, went into IE and did usual email checking etc. then I opened up C&C:G:ZH to own my friend who had come over with his rig. When my PC crashed. I thought, "Trusty Windows", so I boot again, got through 5 of my normal 11-12 passess of the Windows loading bar (I have lots of startup processors :biggrin: ) And it switched off, I thoguht thats a bit odd Ill check my BIOS, thats when I say the Memory Testing script of my BIOS. Normally it would reach 2'097'152 (or there abouts, i did that with a calculator) but this time it only reached 65### (I dont know what the numbers were exactly around 65000+) So I went through and checked my BIOS because my PC has been running smooth for 8 months, and everything was the same. Please help! n00bs cant pwn themselves :sunglasse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 24, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 24, 2006 The MB you have may not support these modules properly as they have a minimum suggested voltage of 2.75 and with 4 modules I would suggest 2.8-.9 Volts. But I would test them one at a time to be sure one is not failing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtC Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 I have tested the RAM modules individually so it isnt that, and the mobo is a: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ClassValue=Motherboard&ProductID=1870&ProductName=GA-K8VT890-9 Also I checked the label on my RAM it says I have CMX512-3200C2PT but when I did a RAM test it came up with a speed of 2-2-2-5? Sure I turn up the voltage or something? Or would that void the warranty? Thanx RAM Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgtC Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 So what should I do? Can I send it to Corsair for testing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 28, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 28, 2006 Sorry about that a part was ommited by mistake. Should have been: The MB you have may not support these modules properly as they have a minimum suggested voltage of 2.75 and with 4 modules I would suggest 2.8-.9 Volts. But I would test them one at a time to be sure one is not failing. I would suggest you get all of the modules replaced and you will need to call customer service and as them if they can help you to match them. 888-222-4346 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
