raklor Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I got a TWINX1024-3200LLPRO the pair of matched 512 sticks, LOT#0405098 from newegg.com and an ASUS KV8 board with bios 1004 and an amd64 3200+ chip. Im running with the defult settings of 2-3-2-6 and I crash when running high graphic load games like Dark Age of Camelot and 3dmark03 no bluescreen and no errors it just kicks me back to windows. I ran Prime95 23.8 and my system crashed. I decided to pull one of the chips out and test it that way and it runs fine with just one of the 512meg dimms in. Im wondering if there is a diffrent setting that i can set to fix my stability issue when running 2 chips or if im out of luck. You guys seem to have a pritty kick ass forum going on here by the way.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 23, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 23, 2004 I would suggest testing the modules one at a time with [url]www.memtest.org[/url] to make sure one is not failing. Then if both pass please try installing them in slots 1-3 and set the Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts and set the timings manually to the tested settings.

raklor Posted February 25, 2004 Author Share Posted February 25, 2004 Hey ram guy, is this fixable with bios settings or am i doomed to have to return this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65stang Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 if all settings and the slot you put it in were the same for both memory chips when you tested, Id bet its time to return. Id contact corsair with all the information you have posted here, tell em you need an RMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
