tim2k Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Hi, I 've got a problem with two 2x1024MB DDR2 Kits. I bought the first Kit two Months ago, and want to upgrade my System with another 2x1024MB DDR2 Kit now. So I bought the same Kit in the same Shop. When the total 4GB are installed, BIOS shows them correctly, Vista too (3,5..GB), but the System shut down after a few minutes with a BlueScreen saying "Memory Management". Both Kits work without problems when I only use one of them. Is there any possibility to fix this problem? The First Kit is 2x CM2X1024-6400 XMS6405v5.1 The second Kit 2x CM2X1024-6400 1.90V ver7.3 Edit: I added a picture. It shows one DIMM of every Kit. My System: AMD Athlon64 FX-62 2x2,8GHz Gigabyte M61P-S3 (Award Bios) Western Digital 320GB SATA2 2 GB Corsair DDR2-6400 NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS Windows Vista Business 32Bit Best Regards Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck08 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Please test each set seperately with Memtest. Go to http://www.memtest.org and download the latest 1.70 version. Burn the ISO image to a CD. Load BIOS defaults and boot from the CD. Let Memtest run for atleast two passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim2k Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 Done. Checked both Kits seperately with MemTest. No Errors found... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck08 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Manually set the DRAM speed to DDR667 in your BIOS and see if that solves your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 28, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 28, 2007 And set the memory Voltage to +.02 Volts; also You'll need to install MS patch 929777 from Microsoft for more than 3 GIG in Win Vista. you can search for it at http://www.microsoft.com.

tim2k Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 i already changed the memory voltage +0.05V (my bios only allows steps of 0.05V), didn't solve it. and when i try to install MS Patch 929777, it says "Update is not valid for your System" :(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 28, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 28, 2007 Then you may not be selecting the correct patch for the version of Windows Vista that you have. Did you run http://www.memtest.org on the system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 29, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 29, 2007 What is the BSOD Error code you get? You can search for it at http://www.microsoft.com/technet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim2k Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 they are different. APC_INDEX_MISMATCH IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL MEMORY_MANAGEMENT BAD_POOL_CALLER PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA is there maybe a problem with the different versions v5.1 and v7.3?

tim2k Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 today i went to the shop again, bought another Corsair Kit of 2x1024MB DDR2-6400. I made sure that they were version 7.3 as the Kit I bought two days ago. I still get BSOD's after a few minutes. The Vista "RAM" Update KB929777 is installed too. I checked all four DIMMS seperately AND together with memtest latest version, no Errors found. I tested the Kits seperately with Crysis, Winamp, TS, ICQ, AntiVir etc, no Problems. I Only get BSOD's if I use all four DIMMS at the same time. I already changed the DRAM Voltage to +0.05, didnt solve it. My MoBo is a GigaByte M61P-S3 (rev.1), Award BIOS Version F4. Bought two Months ago. Could a BIOS-Update fix the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck08 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Did you drop the DRAM speed to DDR667 again? Yes, I would update to the latest BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim2k Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 no I didnt drop the speed to DDR667 again, but i'll try this. there are two updated versions available "F5" and "F6". Should I first update to F5 and then to F6, or doesnt it matter? Edit: tried DDR667, BSOD after a few minutes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck08 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Here is he link to the updated BIOS for your motherboard. GA-M61-S3. Please confirm that I had the correct motherboard. The model number is the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim2k Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 Yes, that's it. I already loaded the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck08 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Try dropping the DRAM speed to DDR533. If it still is unstable there may be a problem with your motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim2k Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 my system is running with the BIOS Update AND 4GB for over an hour without any BSOD's or something. the RAM Speed and Voltage are set to standard/auto. I played crysis multiplayer for ca. 30 minutes with winamp, icq, antivir etc in background. finally, the RAMs seem to work right :): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
