hhm007 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 For starters, this isnt a new build, it has been running for a few months now, with no problems. I went on a small trip which i came back from yesterday, and before that trip, i switched off my power supply, and also unplugged it from the wall (just in case something happens when im not here). When i came back yesterday, i switched back on the power supply, and repluged it in and tried to boot it up. Problem is, it wouldnt. The LCD Poster on the Ramapge Formula would get stuck on DET DRAM. Ive tried removing both sticks, and trying one stick at a time, each time in diffrent slots, same problem. When i tried sticking in a diffrent sped ram (667mhzz) the computer would boot just fine. Ive also tried clearing CMOS. Any other ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Download Memtest V2.01 from--->Here and extract the ISO image. Burn the ISO image to an CD-ROM disk. Download CPU-z from--> Here Sometimes the BIOS block can issue return errors. Please follow these directions:Shut the system downRemove the power cordRemove the CMOS BatterySet the CMOS_CLR Jumper to OnPress the power button for 10 secondsLet sit for 10 minutesSet the CMOS_CLR Jumper to OffInsert the CMOS BatteryInsert the Power CordRestart the systemEnter the BIOSLoad Default SettingsSave Default Settings and ExitRestart the System Enter your BIOS and set to these values.

hhm007 Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Heres the symptoms. I used to run 2x1gb Sticks of Dominator Ram (1066mhz). After a recent shut down, my computer would no longer boot. Ive tried everything to try and get my system to work with both sticks. (I get stuck at DET DRAM, meaning i cant even get to the bios to adjust speed and voltage). So i decided to try one stick at a time. I turned off my comp, fliped the switch on the power supply, unpluged 1 stick, turned on power supply, Cleared CMOS, and booted the comp, it booted fine, all the way to windows and i could log in. I took this chance to preform memtest on this stick, and it passed (tested 5times). I decided to try the other stick, followed the same procedure, but the computer wouldnt boot. Stuck at DET DRAM again, so i couldnt get into bios, thus i couldnt preform memtest on it. Is it safe to assume its dead and i should get it replaced? Currently im running on 1 of the two sticks that came with the package, settings are at 1066mhz and 2.2V, as stated on the package. Should i just send it in?

Wired Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 If they were tested in the same slot, yes, I would go to the automated RMA system and get an RMA. http://tsxpress.corsairmemory.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Let's get them replaced, please use the On Line RMA Request Form and we will be happy to replace them.
