MrZumma Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 A few weeks ago my machine started randomly blue-screening when idling and under normal usage. I ran memtest and found one pair of two TWIN2X4096-6400C5 to be bad. I RMA's those modules, reinstalled Vistax64 and still have random blue-screen and application crashing issues. I have run memtest on all modules over night and have received no errors. I do have a number of minidump files that all have the following in common: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50) Invalid system memory was referenced. This cannot be protected by try-except, it must be protected by a Probe. Typically the address is just plain bad or it is pointing at freed memory. Arguments: Arg1: fffff8820eb4df78, memory referenced. Arg2: 0000000000000000, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation. Arg3: fffff80001d0f0c0, If non-zero, the instruction address which referenced the bad memory address. Arg4: 0000000000000005, (reserved) The only difference is the process and image name which are different for each occurance. Attached are the minidump files that have been created since installing the replacement memory and the reinstallation of Vista x64. Thanks for any help and direction.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 19, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 19, 2009 If you are not getting errors with memtest thay type of error may be caused by failing cache int he CPU of the memory =controller may be failing. Can you test the modules in another system to see if the problem follows the memory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrZumma Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Thanks for the help RG. I put the memory in another pc, ran memtest and Prime95 for a few hours each and had no problems. I then put the memory back in my pc, ran the same tests and have yet to have a blue-screen. We'll just let it go and see what happens.. Thanks again!

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 21, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 21, 2009 hummm, you might clean the contacts on the memory with a pencil eraser if that happens again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZumma Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 RG, Intel is telling me the TWIN2X4096-6400C5 memory is 1.90V memory and their DP35DP system board requires 1.8V memory. The modules that I have do show 1.80V on them but the spec. sheet on Corsair's site shows 1.90V. Can you explain it to me? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 26, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 26, 2009 There is more than one version of this part and one of the versions is rated at 1.9 Volts but if the modules say they are 1.8 Volts then that is what I would run them at.
