Bad memory stick


Toshiya

Recommended Posts

One of my 256mb Corsair Value Select memory sticks is bad. I kept getting memory errors in a game and after trying different things I decided to run memtest86 ver 3.2. It came up with lots of errors for my RAM. So I took one ram stick out and ran memtest86 again and it came up with no errors. Then I tried the other memory stick alone with memtest and it came up with errors. I ran memtest twice with each different test to make sure. And also my game is running with no memory errors with just the one good stick of ram.

 

Can I get this stick replaced?

 

Unless you think it could be something else?

 

Thank you!:):

Can you tell me our modules part# (How To Read the Memory Label) and 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?

 

The part # is VS256MB400C3

 

The CPU speed: 2.4 GHz

FSB: 533

 

BIOS Setting

 

CPU:

Frequency: 2400Mhz

FSB Speed: 533Mhz

 

Cache L1: 16kb

Cache L2: 1024kb

Cache L3: 0kb

 

I don't see any BIOS settings for memory?

 

Thankyou a lot for the help!:):

Please set the following settings and then test with http://www.memtest.org and you might need to disable legacy USB when running any memory test on this MB.

System Performance: User Define

Memory Frequency: 166/DDR333

Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts

Resulting Frequency: 166MHz

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): 7T

Hmmm, I can't see any of those settings to change them?
