Darren_Foster Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Added in a new stick of Corsair ValueSelect memory, same thing I've been running for 3+ years. System booted up, but was extremely slow. Opened outlook and IE7, outlook crashed, then IE, then got the BSOD. Tried it again, same thing. Powered down, took the new stick out figuring it was bad, put the old stick back into dimm slot 1, booted. Same thing happened again. Powered down, video card had come unseated. Reset it, booted up, same thing. Tried it again with both sticks, new memory in slot 1, old one in slot 2, BSOD yet again. Any suggestions? I'm fine with the new stick possibly being bad, I can return that, but why won't the system run properly with just the old stick? It's been perfectly fine as I said for 3+ years.

Darren_Foster Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 Yeah, someone posted that another forum. I'll try it, if I can keep it running long enough to download and burn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 You can always load default settings. Save default settings. Shut Down. Insert the original DRAM and restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren_Foster Posted November 9, 2007 Author Share Posted November 9, 2007 I tried running with just the original stick and still had the same problems. I never changed any of the settings at any time, that's why I can't figure out why the system won't run properly even with just the original memory by itself.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 9, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 9, 2007 Please try clearing the bios first. Then make sure that you have the latest bios for your MB and then load optimized defaults and set the Dim Voltage to 2.6v volts if your system allows you to adjust the memory voltage. Then set test the module with http://www.memtest.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
