aaronmr2 Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 I went and purchased the TwinX (2x512) 2700ll modules today and I can't get them to boot at all. I tried just using one module at a time and still no boot. I went and manually configured the timing to 2-3-2-5 1t and still not boot at all for either stick, all I get are beeps from the motherboard. I can get my old generic to boot and run in windows at the 2-3-2-5 timings though which surprised me. My old stick which is running now is also a 512 mb 2700. My system is a p-4 2.4g an ecs L4S8A2 motherboard with a 350 watt p.s ATI 9800 aiw pro Soundblaster Audigy 2zs Platinum :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 20, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 20, 2004 Please try and reset the bios with our modules installed and see if the system will post. If it will not post then please try them one at a time and let's make sure one is not failing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronmr2 Posted March 21, 2004 Author Share Posted March 21, 2004 I installed the Corsair ram and cleared the CMOS and it will now post with either, or both modules installed. The first screen that I see tells me that CMOS has been changed and defaults loaded. At this point I have the option to hit f1 to continue, or hit del to enter setup. If I enter setup and exit I am back to a blank screen and beeps no matter what I do in the Bios. If I enter f1 and continue I will boot into Windows. When in Windows I used SIS Sandra to check the settings and the ram was at 2.5-3-3-6 T2 at 268Mhz by default (slower than my generic ram). Remember I can't change anything in bios and boot with the Corsair ram. Here is the worst part, if I restart or shutdown my computer I just get the blank screen and beeps again. I have to reset the CMOS with the jumper and load defaults each time with the Corsair. What do I do next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 21, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 21, 2004 I would suggest testing the memory on another MB, ECS in the past has been a great over clocker; however there have been quite a few issues in general with this chipset. SIS648 has not over clocked as well as other chipsets and in fact I have never seen any MB with this chipset able to support low latency modules. I would try the latest bios and then use other memory if needed and set the timings manually to Cass 2-3-3-6 and see if the system is stable. However, testing them in another system may help to isolate the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronmr2 Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 Well I went out and bought a new motherboard to put the ram in. I purchased an Abit A17 board and now the ram works as it should. I confirmed the timings and frequency in the bios and with SIS Sandra in Windows. Now it runs without any modifications at 2-3-2-5 T1 and at 533 mhz. I am also running on dual channel with the new motherboard. I didn't want to put in a new board, but it all runs fine so far. I get an occasional beep in 3d gaming off of the board, but no affect on the game. I will see how it keeps running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 24, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 24, 2004 You might set the Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts and see if that helps! However, that occasional beep could be anything, especially if you get that in a game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
