K8TNeo2 plus VS1GB400C3

[JackieChan]

Hello out there,

 

I think I need the help of you (or the so-called ram guy :): ), because a lot of trial and error, searching google and reading this forum did not get me any step closer to a stable config.

 

In the course of rearrange my systems configurations, I wanted to upgrade my old MSI K8T Neo2-FIR with two Corsair RAMs - Following the help of the great Corsair Memory Compability Tool I was convinced that two VS1GB400C3 would do the job fine.

 

But with either both in dual channel mode, non-dual channel mode, or only one of them sticked into the board I get a lot of errors with memtest (right from the start of test 1) and it is safe to say that windows will turn into a deadly blue within 10 minutes. I tried a lot of BIOS Setting tests and even updated my bios to a daring version 9.20 (quite a gap from 3.30) - no improvement.

 

Yes I can stay at my current configuration, 2x 512MB MCI + 2x 512MB Samsung (yes, this does give me a stable system), but I would like to run at a memory clock of 200mhz - what, for me, is only possible with my two Corsair RAMs... there must be a reason they are listed as compatible for my board :idea:

 

Thanks in advance for any comment, suggestion or solution (or in reverse order)!

Please with just our module's one at a time load setup defaults and then set the Dim Voltage to 2.7X volts (+.2 Volts W/Giga-Byte) and then set the timings manually to; if you have Value Select "BY SPD" and then test the module/'s one at a time with http://www.memtest.org! If you still get errors, please follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it! However, if you get errors with both modules that would suggest some other problem and I would test them in another system or MB to

Thank You for your help. I could cut down the problem to a single module, re-checked it in two other system configurations. Bought 4 VS1GB400C3 and 1 is defect... :sigh!:

This is going to be a expensive shipping, hopefully the returning module will do the job :):
