Element Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Hi guys, I just installed a new MB and transferring my existing 4 sticks of XMS2 2GB sticks. Vista 64 SP2 is stable with 2 or 3 sticks but the 4th stick just doesnt want to cooperate. Vista crashes, no display on post, all sorts of no fun things happen. Any suggestions for timings or voltage to get this working? CMS2x2048-6400C5 5-5-5-18 2T 1.9V ver 3.2 Ive tried to fool around a bit on timing but I do not know enough about it to really get anywhere. MB is a XFX MB-N780-ISH9. BTW no overclocking on anything, just trying to get it stable now. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 18, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 18, 2009 This has been posted many times about running 4 modules and I would test one module in all four slots to make sure one of the slots is not failing. With 4 modules I would suggest setting the memory frequency at DDR667 and set the memory Voltage to 2.1 Volts and set the NB/MCH/SPP Voltage to +.2 Volts as well and test the system with http://www.memtest.org. 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...
Element Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 actually one of the sticks failed memtest and i am sending it back for RMA. That happens to be the 4th stick I was trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 18, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 18, 2009 You will have to get them replaced as a set if you purchased them as a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Element Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 yes I am aware of that. I have the other stick tho it may of gotten shuffled with the other 3 sticks. I will be sending back 2 sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 18, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 18, 2009 You can look at the modules lot code to match them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
