Donald Barnes Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hi, I just purchased a Corsair MEM, EPP XMS6400 800Mhz 2GB Kit (2x1GB) from a local store and tried to use it in an eMachines T5212. I am replacing 2x512MB DDR2 4200 DIMMs which were stock in my eMachines T5212. When I replace these and try to start to PC it does not boot at all. If I take your memory out and put the stock memory back in, it starts up fine. I thought I would have no problems buying 6400 memory and running it at 4200. What am I doing wrong. Can you help me understand how to make this work, or understand why it doesn't work so I will not make this mistake again. Even though I may not sound technical in this message, I am, so don't dumb the explanation down. I'll catch up with you. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Corsair Modules Compatible with the eMachines T5212 XMS modules are not on that list, only 3 VS modules are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Barnes Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Thanks for taking the time to look and the response, but I had already looked there. I just wish I had looked there before buying the memory. It still would be nice if someone could tell me if there is a way to make that memory work, or tell me in more technical terms why it didn't work.

Wired Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 OEM computers don't have the capability to let the end user set the timings and voltage for XMS memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
