Waldo Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Upgraded to windows 7 64 bit and decided to increase my ram from 2 gigs to 4 so I purchased: Corsair XMS2 Twin2x4096 PC2-8500 DDR2-1066 CL5-6-6-18 I had BSOD 2 or 3 times a day until I changed my Turbo setting in my bios down to standard, but it still happens, now about once a day. I need to find out if the ram is bad or if it's something I can set in my bios to make it more stable. Here are some of the settings for my motherboard: CPU Ratio 9x CPU Freq 3.0 (333x9) Performance Enhance - Standard (or Turbo) System Mem multiplier - Auto Mem Freq - 1066 System Voltage - Auto (Manual) DDR2 Overvoltage control - Normal (or +0.1 to +0.7) FSB Overvoltage control - Normal (or +0.1 to +0.3) CPU Voltage control - Normal (or 2.0 to 0.512) Normal CPU Vcore - 1.22500v Any suggestions?

Waldo Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 After running memtest for the past 3 hours (3 passes) I only received one error: Tst 8 Pass 1 Failing address 000c3a767d4 - 3130.4MB Good 09c51271 Bad 09c41271 Err-bits 00010000 So with only one error does that mean the memory should be ok? How many errors are good/bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 What's the actual part number of your memory? Have you set the memory voltage to 2.1v? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 S132 Corsair XMS2 Twin2x4096-8500C5C G 4GB 2x2GB PC2-8500 DDR2-1066 CL5-6-6-18 240 Pin There's also a number: 39771 in large print. ? How do I set the voltage on this motherboard though? All I can see are overvoltage controls. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Anyone? BSOD still happening once a day, random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotingNerd Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I'm also having BSOD problems with this mobo/ram combination. I bought a pack and couldn't get my system stable for more than an hour, so I RMAd them to the place I bought them from. My new sticks just arrived today, I put them in, set bios to failsafe defaults, and tried to start up windows. The second it hit my desktop, instant BSOD. I was able to get into windows for about 5 minutes on a second try and easytune confirmed that the voltage was at 2.1v. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotingNerd Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I have now tried 3 kits of this ram and all of them are giving errors in memtest. I'm going to be trying to test one of them in a friend's computer, hopefully over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
