greekeagle12 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I had built a pc system 2 years ago. Everything was ok untill August that i started having random Bsod 116 and TDR warnings... I sent the Gpu (palit gt 240) to be tested from shop service and they said was ok (but i replaced it anyway with a palit gtx 460) Problems still were there with TDR... but BSOD dissapeard So i tried to look what other hardware may be fault and i started with the memory... Every time i run memtest86 4.20 it freezes after some time... it may be after 4 passes or after 7 passes.. but without errors Same on running the test on each one module and different socket Also every time i run linx test (all ram -20 or more passes) it finished without errors but the pc lags a lot during the test (as i remember this didnt happened at the 1st year) info: 2 years now i run my pc with cpu overclocked from 2,66 to 3,37 (160x21) using xmp, vcore 1.15, imc 1.15, vdram 1,65 i also upped vcore to 1,20 or 1,25 or imc to 1,20 or 1,25 but same TDR problems Temps are cpu: 40 idle 60 fully load(linx test) (using corsair h80) So is my ram maybe faulty or it is something else like psu that dont let memtest continues for ever untill i choose to stop it?... Thank you in advance for ur help, may u excuse me for my bad English, greetings from Athens - Greece Memory: CMX4GX3M2A1600C8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Load set up defaults and and test each stick individually in the first slot to see if you have any modules that stick out as bad. Let each stick run for about 3-4 passes or until you get an error. No need to go any further if it kicks an error. If you have more than one stick show as bad test in other slots on the MB.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 31, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 31, 2012 Did you have legacy USB Disabled, if not I would retest with Legacy USB disabled and if you still get the same errors please use the link on the left and request an RMA and we can replace it.

greekeagle12 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Did you have legacy USB Disabled, if not I would retest with Legacy USB S=disabled and if you still get the same errors please use the link on the left and request an RMA and we can replace it. Thank u for ur response Ram Guy, i 'm gonna test them with legacy off and will update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greekeagle12 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 same with usb legacy disabled.... at 3 hours memtest86 (cd) stopped.... i am gonna take them back to the store that i first bought them. If they dont RMA them i will fill the RMA request here. Thanks again Ram Guy. *I hope that it isn't a motherboard problem and the ram replacement will fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 2, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 2, 2012 That would suggest some other issue but you can try and replace them if you like. I would suggest checking for the latest MB BIOS and then load setup defaults and set the tested settings manually except set the memory frequency at DDR1333 and see if it will pass. If it does it could be that your CPU just does not over clock that well, or you may need to increase the memory controller voltage +.1 Volts.

greekeagle12 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Ram Guy, i allready use the latest mb bios (v.2004). I also has these o.c settings 2 years now without an issue. So u say to set default settings (ide & not achi, etc) manually set ram to 1333, 9,9,9,24 1,5v - usb legacy off and see if pass? A question... memory controller voltage is the imc (1.15 to be setting to 1.25 or 1.16?) or the dramv(1.65v to be setting to 1.66v). thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 2, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 2, 2012 I see well I was under the impression this was a new Build that does change things, I would test the modules one at a time to see if one is failing and if they both pass or they both fail then it is likely the CPU or MB that is failing. And I would suggest testing the memory on another system to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greekeagle12 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 they both failing..... i just saw a brown spot next to the 2nd memory slot... so i think is a MB problem.... i have to disasable it and take it to the service to have a look..... pfffffffff.... thanks a lot for ur time Ram Guy. apreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greekeagle12 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Service team said that MB working ok but it has 2 bent pins at the cpu socket (but they give signal ok)..... dont know what to think.... they dont RMA anything..... pffffffff... economic crisis here in Greece is making things difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 9, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 9, 2012 Sometimes the Pins can be straightened but I would talk to them and make sure they are clear on what the issue and resolution is or would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greekeagle12 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 here in Greece (i prefer Hellas, Greece name was given by the Turks).. .. we say: "if u dont have ur own nails to scratch urself when u want then u have a problem"... .. so i used a micro zoom photo camera to look closer to the socket... .. and i fixed this tiny tiny tiny contact that i saw below... .. now i hope that my troubles will pass... just hoping... i 'm gonna test again the memory (2 at the same time) to see if memtest hang again (unexpected interrupt-halting) ...and ofcourse the most important to see if i still get tdr's and bsod's :) thanks again for ur time Ram Guy, aprecciate it (sorry for my bad english) http://imagerous.com/images2/79839533067468328028.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greekeagle12 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 last update status: no, nothing... evel Intel replaced my i5 750 with a brand new.... but TDR (nvidia driver has stopped responding and has recovered), random freeze on windows 7 welcome screen and some green pixels on the top of some web pages (..this is new) continues... Now i believe that i damaged my motherboard when i installed corsair h80 cooler on August... nothing else can cross my mind... maybe i pressed too much the cpu cocket.. or the one pin who looked bent is doing such problem, even if i allready put it back in the line.. Nevermind.... pffffff... bad luck... what else i can say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 5, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 5, 2012 I would remove the CPU and check the pins int he socket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
