malam Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I have a Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R board. With the Corsair memory plugged in, the computer starts, the fans are running but no display. I called Gigabyte support and tried a few settings. The only time the system boots up properly was when the modules are plugged in slots 2 and 4. In slots 1 and 3 - nada. I had the default setting for the voltage and timing and also tried resetting to 2.0v and the 4-4-4-12 settings with no difference. With only one stick in slot 1 - it was ok. I bought a different make of memory (********) and plugged them in - bingo, problem. Unfortunately my retailer won't take back the Corsair memory. So, I've decided if I can make them work, I'll just install 4G. I installed the corsair in slots 2 and 4, with ******** in slot 1 and 3. The system will boot sometimes, other times no display. Here is where I have the settings: Memory Voltage (+.4) reading 1.98 Timing Settings: 4-4-4-12 Frequency; 400MHZ I have the above confirmed by CPUID and Everest. What else can I try to be able to use the Corsair? Or are they faulty ? Thanks. Other info: CPU is Intel E6550, Two Western Digital Drives, One CDROM Drive. PSU is Antec Quattro 850.

bigbuck08 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Please use Memtest to test each module individually. Load BIOS defaults first. How To Use Memtest. Corsair RAM has a lifetime warranty so if something is wrong with it, they will replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malam Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 I downloaded Memtest and installed the Corsair memory sticks and had the system booted up so I could copy the memtest to a CD. However, I found that my motherboard temperature was at 39 deg. C - it was at 35 before! The voltage is still at 1.95 V and haven't changed any of the settings. I turned the computer off and removed the pair of Corsair. My other memory was installed and I am back to the 35 deg. C temperature. Can installing the 4Gigs (2x1024 Corsair and 2x1024 ****) cause the temperature to go up this high ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbuck08 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 It is probably going up because of the voltage needed going to all 4GB. It should not cause a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
