Ask the RAM guy question about my RAM


StayRemembered

Recommended Posts

Hello I have 16GB of RAM. 4x4 Corsair Dominator GT

Part Number: CMT16GX3M4X2133C9

The problems is sometime when I turn on my PC the BIOS,

beeps four times. I looked up the AMI beep codes and this

is the error I get. "System Timer Failure: The system

clock/timer IC has failed or there is a memory error in the

first bank of memory". I have tried multiple things like switching

the ram around, I have even got a new motherboard from EVGA.

But I still am having the problem and it doesnt happen all the time.

I also noticed CPUz isnt recognizing one of my ram sticks so it might be

dead?. If so I would like to know if you guys have a warranty because

they are fairly new.

 

PSU 1250 W Corsair

Mobo: EVGA z68 FTW

GPU 2x GTX 680

Test all your sticks individually in the first slot with memtest86=. Let each stick run for about three passes minimum.This will point out a bad stick pretty quick.

 

But the system timer error can also be a dead CMOS battery. So you might want to replace that too.

Can I use this memory CMP4GX3M2A1600C8 on this motherboard. I'm doing a computer refresh and replacing the M/B CPU next month. Then the memory the next month. But to do that i need to know if my old memory will work on this new board.

 

Thank you
