VirulentShadow Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 OK, this happened before: http://www.houseofhelp.com/v2/showthread.php?t=51681 Asus A8N-SLI Premium motherboard, x2-4800+ proc, and TWINX2048-3200 Pro corsair ram. Everything is stock voltage and stock speeds; new/fresh install of winxp 32 bit about a week ago -- and, what I think might have been the problem -- disabled the paging file. The last time, I would get weird bootup errors and bluescreens, and after a long time of testing, I ran memtest 1.65 and got plenty of errors, finally culimating in sending both sticks in, and getting replacement parts. They have run fine till now. My computer shut down over the night, and then said a part of the Windows registry was corrupt (same thing that happened last time). I ran Windows recovery, and it booted up for a second, then the same bluescreens. I immediately ran memtest again, and low-and-behold, plenty of errors -- over a million now. 3.3.3.8.2T at 2.75 volts still... Bad RAM again...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 18, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 18, 2007 Let's get them replaced, please use the On Line RMA Request Form and we will be happy to replace them or it. But if this happens again I would suspect some other issue, MB or PSU perhaps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirulentShadow Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 thanks for that.. well since this has happened twice... what kinds of problems could be causing this? my psu doesn't seem to be failing in any other way (and for being ~$200, I would hope not)... thoughts? Some people say disabling the paging file is bad, and some say it is good. Does it have any adverse affects on how the RAM works? could it cause the RAM to fail? If the MB was the culprit, what could have gone wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 18, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 18, 2007 Well actually I would suspect the CPU before the MB as the memory controller is in the CPU, but if the data sent to the memory is at to high of a voltage it can damage the memory IC's, if the PSU is noisey it might generate voltage spikes to the memory. But let's get them replaced and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
