arty1234 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Hello! I need help regarding my new RAM I bought. A lot of people has told me that switching ram should be the most simple procedure there is. But as far as I'm concerned... This happens to be false. In my case anyhow. Anywho... I recently had 2x1gb of ram, pretty crappy if you have Vista, a lot of games crashes because of memory missing. So I went ahead and bought 2x2gb ram (This one to be exact: Corsair XMS2 Dominator TwinX DDR2 PC8500/1066MHz CL5 2x2GB) What happened when I put it in was that the computer started looping in restartmode... And if you watched carefully enough, you could see a error message: (0x000000A5 ( 0x00001000, 0x00000000, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0x00000140) (Or something like that) As far as I've looked on the internet, it seems there is a problem with the motherboard "Asus M2N Plus Sli" I have. I fixed the problem temporarily by taking out one of the new 2gb and now it works fine. I've looked up now a lot on the interwebz on a solution but couldn't find anything helpful. Do you guys have any ideas or possibly a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 What's the actual part number of your memory? Are you mixing it with the other memory, or did you replace it? What speed / timings / voltage have you set the memory to in the BIOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 2, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 2, 2009 And with the MB and CPU you have listed DDR1066 would not be support unless you can over clock the CPU. But they should be able to run at DDR800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arty1234 Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Ok guys, here's the deal. I have no idea what to do. Why the hell can't I have ddr1066 when my buddy with the same motherboard managed to do it fine. The "speed / timings / voltage" thing is more of an issue, how do I get there and check the BIOS? and what should I put it at? And where on the ram can I see the part number? I see a lot of codes on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wired Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 The part number's on the label itself. How To Read the Memory Label Are you overclocking your CPU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arty1234 Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 nope. Part number is: CM2X2048-8500C5D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 What's your buddy's CPU? As Ram Guy said, that may be the reason why he can hit 1066 and you cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arty1234 Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 Well I don't see the issue since I use one of the dominator 1066's and it works fine, it's when I use both of them the computer ****s up. I have amd athlon 64 x2 6000+ While my bud got: Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E6400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Neither your CPU or motherboard list 1066 MHz as being officially supported. You'd have to overclock your system to be able to run the memory at that speed. Your buddy does not have the same motherboard. Your motherboard doesn't support Intel processors.

arty1234 Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 so...??????????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3x3d Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Run your ram at settings supported by your motherboard, as RamGuy said this would be DDR800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 24, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 24, 2009 Then you can over clock the CPU to get more speed out of the system if you like but I would test with memtest to make sure it is stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
