gbu Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I had a 6 month old self built PC with TWIN2X4096-6400C5C RAM sticks, i was getting a sluggish performance and lots of freezing and BSOD's, i ran BurninTest and Memtest, both gave lots of errors and Burnintest would cut out with error Verifying Data on RAM being the main culprit. Anyway seeing as they were 6 months old the shop(microdirect) replaced them for me with the same model, however on return the performance was still the same so i ran the same tests and got the same errors. I was reading other peoples problems via google that maybe there wasnt the correct voltage going to them, is this possible or could it be a bad batch or something else thats at fault?

Wired Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Voltage setting is on the label of the memory itself. When testing with memtest, did you test ONE stick at a time in the same slot using Memtest86+ v4.10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbu Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Thanks for the reply i will check the voltage on the memory. I tested both at same time with memtest 4.10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbu Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Microdirect has said they can replace the RAM with another make as they say its not compatible with my MB but i thought it was. My MB is ASUS P5QL/EPU, in the configurator it just lists the P5QL/E but i think this the same or is that wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbu Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 Ok i have run memtest again but i got no errors this time i left it running for an hour, is that long enough? The voltage is 1.8v. I also noted these numbers on memtest, are they as they should be?
