ajl5000 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Earlier this week my PC began crashing to BSoD and was unable to load a new OS (tried xp and xp-64). Since that time I have tried several thinks to determine what the cause was. I removed my soundcard, video card, hardrives (all but 1), and wireless card. I then removed 2 of the 4 GB of memory that I had in my system and once again was met with a BSoD. I removed the 2 GB of memory that I left in my PC and replaced them with the other 2 that I had initially taken out. I was then able to install the OS. At this point I added each piece of additional hardware (installing the newest drivers). When this was complete I replaced 1 of the 2 sticks with 1 of the possible "broken" sticks and the system ran fine. Next I removed that stick again and replaced it with the last possible damaged stick. The system was unstable and I was unable to even get to the Bios. Next I ran memtest86+ for several hours for the 3 remaining sticks and they appear to be fine. I attempted to run memtest86+ for the suspected bad stick however I was unable to. Any assistance that you could lend would be most appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted May 15, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 15, 2007 Please set the Dim Voltage to 2.7X volts (+.2 Volts W/Giga-Byte) and then set the timings manually to the tested settings for the specific module you have, XMS2700C2 Cass 2-3-3-6 for example or if you have Value Select "BY SPD" and then test the module/'s 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.
