Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 20, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 20, 2006 Please load setup defaults and then set the Dim Voltage to 2.1 volts (+.2 Volts W/Giga-Byte) and then test the module/modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org! If you still get errors, please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it! However, if you get errors with both modules that would suggest some other problem and I would test them in another system or MB to be sure. In addition, with this MB you have to disable legacy USB in the bios when running any memory test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabaholicks Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 i have already tested the suspected faulty piece by itself and it does not work..just powers on and off repeatedly...and i also set the Dim voltage to 2.1, again one piece works fine but the other one powers on and off. Anyways, should i ship it back to corsair or newegg? who would fix my problem faster ? and do i have to return both sticks or ram? thanks for your help Ram guy.

ComputerGuy06 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Ram Guy, I also have a bad stick of ram. I have followed all the above directions and still have the same issue. My computer keeps giving me registry errors, and dumps with this one stick in. I bought a pair of vs256mb266 and the one works great, but the other does as stated above. I am new to the posting thing and could not find where to start a new post. Can you help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
