mkoshel Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hi All, I recently purchased a Asus M4A785-M motherboard with XMS Twin2X2048-8500C5 memory. It blues-screens about 5 to 10 minutes during my windows 7 install. I can't find this board in the memory configurator. Is this memory compatible with my board? OR is there some other Corsair memory that will work if this won't? thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 9, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 9, 2009 The CPU you have does not support DDR1066 please try setting the modules to DDR800 at 2.1 Volts at Cas 4-4-4-12 and see if the system is stable with http://www.memtest.org.

mkoshel Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 I finally figured out today what was going on. I was fooling around with the memory settings you mentioned and for the heck of it I decided to trying swapping 2GB sticks since it was about the only thing I hadn't tried. I went ahead with my windows 7 install and completed it finally after a month of fighting with this new computer. After finishing the Windows 7 install I put the 2nd stick in and couldn't even boot windows 7 properly. definitely the problem. I've put in a ticket to get a RMA to get these sticks returned. I've currently got 1 2GB stick in my memory slots with 5-5-5-15T and it's been purring for hours. I can't believe I wasted a month on fighting with a bad stick. Thanks for the help.
