thor17 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I bought 1 1GB VS1GSDS667D2 from Newegg in October. I stuck that in my Gateway ML-3109 with the existing 512 MB RAM and the system ran fine. I ordered another 1 GB stick of VS1GSDS667D2 from Newegg last week. The stick looks different from the one I got back in October (half the number of chips on it), but is labeled as VS1GSDS667D2. When I took the stick of 512 MB out, and put the new 1 GB stick in, filling both slots with 1 GB VS1GSDS667D2 each, BIOS only recognizes 1 GB, and Windows gives BSOD. I performed the following tests 2x each, the second test swapping slots: Original 1 GB stick alone - BIOS recognizes and no Windows BSOD New 1 GB stick alone - BIOS recognizes and no Windows BSOD Original 1 GB stick with 512 MB stick - BIOS recognizes and no Windows BSOD. New 1 GB stick with 512 MB stick - BIOS recognizes and no Windows BSOD. Original 1 GB stick with new 1 GB stick - BIOS does not recognize and Windows gives a BSOD Then I ran Memtest86+: New 1 GB stick alone: no errors after 10 passes Original 1 GB stick alone: no errors after 7 passes (it's still running right now). When I had both 1 GB sticks in there, Memtest only recognized 1 GB. I didn't run the full test with both in there after seeing that, wanting to see if there was a bad stick first. Gateway won't assist me at all since I did not buy the memory from them. Please help me out, I cannot figure out what's going on. Corsair's memory configuration tool indicates that this is the correct memory and that I should be able to run up to 2 GB on my system. People are reporting on other boards that they have 2x1GB DDR2 667 MHz (non-Corsair) sticks running on their ML-3109s fine. I've tested both memory slots and the slots appear to work fine.
