Camaroz28c Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 hello, I have 2GB of CMX1024-3200PT. Whenever I attempt to transcode a movie with Nero 6 or play a video game my computer will restart out of the blue. I have uploaded one of the last dump files. I then tried each stick separately to no avail. I ran memtest86+ all night long and it had a few hundred errors all in test #7 but I have no idea what that means. I also read in this forum about someone else having the same error with the same motherboard and it may be because this ram requires 2.75volts and this mother board defaults at 2.5. It has the option to step it up 6% but that only brings it to 2.67. I do not see any way to bring it up to 2.75. I also noticed that the BIOS has it at CAS 2.5 when I believe it should be at 3 although I may be wrong. When I change it to 3, it wont POST and I have to clear the CMOS to get back to defaults. Please help, the only reason I bought this RAM is because I checked on the Corsair website and it was one of the types of RAM that came up as being compatible with my motherboard. Thanks!

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 30, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 30, 2006 Can you check for the latest bios and yes the settings should be 2.7 Volts at Cass 3-3-3-8 with these modules! If you still have problem I would suggest testing them in another system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camaroz28c Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 I've updated to the latest BIOS and it didn't help. I will try and test these in my brother-in-law's computer when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camaroz28c Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 Well, I was just thinking, my BIL has the exact same motherboard as I do (we built our computers at the same time). Won't I run into the same problem with the voltage? Second, why does the RAM finder on the corsair site say that this ram is compatible with my motherboard if it does not in fact meet the voltage requirements? Thanks for your help RAM GUY.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 31, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 31, 2006 These modules are compatible with that MB! Have you tested the modules one at a time att he settings I gave you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camaroz28c Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 yes I have tested them and they get errors but the motherboard only puts out 2.67volts max so that may be why. it is impossible on this motherboard to go any higher. what do you recommend? thanks again!

Yellowbeard Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 If the MOBO supplies a solid 2.67v then it should be fine. Can you test the modules in your BILs system just to be certain that there is no other problem with your system? Thanks, Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camaroz28c Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 Yeah, I can try them but it is going to be a couple weeks before I am in his part of the state again. In the meantime, I am pulling my hair out with this constant crashing. Whats more is that it isn't even leaving minidumps on these restarts so I can't even look at those for reference.

Camaroz28c Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 Well, I haven't been able to test them in another system yet but I did try running the program that keeps crashing in XP and Vista and using Nero 6 and 7 to rule out any software issues. No go. Then I replaced the PSU with a brand new one I had sitting around. Same result, constant crashing when encoding. It did pop off a minidump though which I will post here. It is saying memory corruption. I am at my wits end.debuglog.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Can you clarify what happened when you tested the modules individually with Memtest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
