Sanchos Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hi, everyone. First of all, sorry for my english =) Try to describe my issue... some days ago, i bought 2*4Gb planks of CMX8GX3M2A1333C9. Windows 7 x86 detected them correctly and everything was ok, until Win x64 installation. After copying files, on first reboot, loading freezed at the screen "starting windows". In safe mode, last loaded driver was "classpnp.sys". Memtest freezes at the test #2 (see screenshot. There are also old memory installed. No matter - with only new modules installed, i have the same). BIOS still detect 8 Gb installed memory... I try to run Ubuntu 64-bit from flashdrive, and did it!(no problems, 8Gb available. But i can't check it with any tests) There is only one guess - Compatibility i3 processor and memory units with different amount of ranks. I'm not good in this things =) It's only assumption from another forum. I would appreciate any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanutz94 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Thats what I thought . Since they are made with 512mb IC's those are going to be incompatible with your MB/CPU combination. http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68811 Originally quoted by RamGuy:. Actually only Core I7 Quad channel series CPU's will support 64 Gig Core I5 D/C CPU's are limited to 32 Gig because of the number of slots and Core I3 only support 16 Gig of memory and the modules have to made with IC's no larger than 256 X8 Memory IC's so that would 4.0 Gig double rank modules or 16 Gig total. If the MB you have only has two slots then you would be limited to 8.0 Gig of Ram for Core I3 CPU's http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=116594 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanchos Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Thank you very much! Very reasoned response. Just one more question: Is it possible to know the size of a single IC by the name of the module (for CORSAIR memory)? Or just using the table in first post http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68811 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 The only way to tell is the version number printed on the modules. The only problem with that is if you have to order them from somewhere , you can't specify version niumber. You would have to have them in front of you to compare.
