Apekop Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Hello, I recently purchased the Corsair Dominator 4GB (2x2GB) kit, CM2X2048-8500C5D. I even ran the Memory Configurator on the Corsair website before buying, and the outcome was that the RAM is supposed to work on my mobo (ASUS P5K). However when I first tried to boot up my PC after installing the modules I got the BSOD right after the Windows Vista (Home Premium, 32-bit) loading screen. I tried to reboot a couple of times but it kept giving me the BSOD: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA **** STOP: 0x00000050 (0xAAAAAAB2, 0x00000000, 0x81A8482D, 0x00000002) Log file: (Translated from Dutch) Problem with signature Name of problem: BlueScreen OS Version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.768.3 Country settings ID: 1043 Files which help to explain the problem (some files are possibly no longer available) Mini090608-02.dmp sysdata.xml Version.txt Extra information about the problem BCCode: 18 BCP1: FFFFFFFF BCP2: 8FF07098 BCP3: 00000002 BCP4: FFFFFFFE OS Version: 6_0_6001 Service Pack: 1_0 Product: 768_1 Server information: 6457b6ef-96f5-4dd8-8ca4-abd2f3a37c7c I'm wondering if anyone here knows what the problem might be? Cause my other memory modules (******** 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2-1066 CL5-5-5-15 2,3V) have almost exactly the same specs as the Dominator kit, except the former has 2GB instead of 4. Help would be much appreciated! PS: See my profile for my PC's detailed specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Are you mixing the Corsair memory with the other pack? If not, have you reset the BIOS and set the correct speed / timings / voltage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apekop Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Are you mixing the Corsair memory with the other pack?NoIf not, have you reset the BIOS and set the correct speed / timings / voltage?Yes. I have also updated my BIOS to the latest revision (1103). I have sticked the modules in every slot in every possible combination. With the primary (yellow) slots they don't work at all. With the secondary slots (black) I get one of these things: - Boots, but detects the memory incorrectly as either DDR2-800, 4096 MB in Dual Channel mode or DDR2-1066, 2048 MB in Single Channel mode (It's supposed to be DDR2-1066, 4096 MB in Dual Channel mode). And yes, this happened also after I changed the frequency/voltage/timings settings in the BIOS. Gives BSOD after a while - Doesn't boot, screen stays black. Mobo doesn't give a beep, sometimes it gives a constant series of beeps. (At normal startup it gives 1 beep) So, does anybody have any idea what might be the problem here? I have added some pics of my BIOS settings, maybe that'll help identifying the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 10, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 10, 2008 Please make sure that you have the latest bios and load setup defaults and then set the memory Voltage to 2.1 Volts then set the timings manually to the tested settings for the specific module you have, and test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org to be sure one is not failing. 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 be sure. In addition, with some MB's (Mostly ASUS) you have to disable legacy USB in the bios when running any memory test. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
