thelzrd Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Hi all, Ive spent hours on the net to find a solution for my problem and this is the last thing i try before i buy a new set of memory. The problem : I bought some new parts for my pc: Processor : Intel Pentium D 945 Motherboard : ASUS P5VD2-VM Memory : 2x VS1GB667D2 Its all working flawless except for one little (for me veeeery big) thing. When i try to repair rar files with quickpar i get the message : Checksum Error : Probably Memory Failure. :mad: :mad: I tried all kind of timing versions (don't know what the correct timings are) and i have the latest bios version flashed. Every f*@ing time i get that stupid message and my files can't be repaired. :mad: Can please, please, somebody help me with this? Does somebody know what the exact timings are for this setup? Kind regards, R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 25, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 25, 2007 Please make sure that you have the latest bios and then load setup defaults and set the Dim Voltage to 2.1 volts 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...

Formatted my pc, clean install. Same problems But where can i change the Dim Voltage? I looked everywere in my BIOS. Nowhere to find. Kind regards, R.

Legend Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 With a 800MHZ FSB CPU you should run the DDR Freqeuncy at 533MHZ with this motherboard. 1066(Support Intel® Core™2 Processors only) / 800 / 533 MHz Memory 2 x 240-pin DIMM sockets support max. 4GB, DDR2 667/533/400 MHz, non-ECC, un-buffered memory CPU:DRAM Ratio for motherboard 1066MHZ:667MHZ 800MHZ:533MHZ 533MHZ:400MHZ Give it a try and see if you get the same errors.

Tnx Legend, But now running on 533, same problems... :[pouts: If you can tell me where to change my Dim voltage, thats the last thing i will do. Otherwise i just give up. Tnx for helping me out here!

Legend Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'm not sure if VM series allows for voltage adjustment. Do you still get the checksum error in startup? At DDR2 533MHZ 1.8v is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
