felipe rayel Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hi everyone, I have some questions, if someone could help me... I have a single Corsair XMS PC4000 PRO 512mb stick runing in a msi k8n platinun board. I am runing with 400mhz and default settings 3-4-4-8 and 2.70v 1. The memory dont work in the first ddr bank. why? 2. Running in the second bank works great but i have some random BSOD at windows xp. something like "page fault in non paged area"... Every time i am doing nothing, just browsing files or Internet. Could be a PSU problem? 3. I need to change my memory voltage ? Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 11, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 11, 2004 I would suggest testing the modules in another MB if possible as that would help isolate the problem! In addition, I would make sure that you have the latest bios installed as well! And XMS4000 was made for Intel platform; I would really suggest you use CMX1024-3200 with this MB!

cimerol Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 i've seen more page fault in non paged area & irq is less than or equal to BSOD's in the last few days, i'd be rich if i had a dollar for it each time. just trying all kinds of different settings. my thinking now is, loosen up the timings until these 939 mobos can handle the tight settings.

felipe rayel Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 I ran Prime95 for testing and it stops with a error in less than 2 minutes... I found that if I set the CMD command rate to 2T the problems disappear... PS: I know that kind of DDR are for Pentium... But I bought it used from a friend for a good price...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 12, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 12, 2004 Well it could be, but if you can test these on another MB that might help to isolate the problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felipe rayel Posted August 14, 2004 Author Share Posted August 14, 2004 Hm, I don´t tested in other mobo yet. but I run the memtest86 for 5 hours and I have no errors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 16, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 16, 2004 How are you making out with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felipe rayel Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 Bad.. I tried using 3-6-7-15 of latency and the system run fine for 20 hours but got BSOD with "page fault in non paged area" again. I update the bios with a beta version and I will try to configure DDR333 to see if it solves the stability issue. I think there is some problem with my hardware because who sold me said that it was running fine. And i think there is some incompatiblity with the mobo... Firstly, this stick don´t run in the first ddr slot... I thought about the PSU, but the voltages are ok... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 17, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 17, 2004 First thing where are you getting these settings? I do not know if these modules will even support those timings! Please first make sure that you have the latest bios and then set the timings to Cass 3-3-3-8 and set the Dim Voltage to 2.8 Volts and test the modules one at a time with www.memtest.org! I would set these timings and then set the Dim Voltage to +.2 Volts: [B]CAS Latency CL=3.0[/B] Row Cycle Time tRC [B]Bios Default[/B] Row Refresh Cyc Time tRFC [B]Bios Default[/B] [B]Ras# to CAS# delay tRCD 3 [/B] Row to Row delay [B]Bios Default[/B] [B]Min Ras# Active Time tRAS 8 [/B] [B]Row Precharge Time tRP 3[/B] Write Recovery Time [B]Bios Default[/B] Write to Read delay [B]Bios Default[/B] Read to Write Delay [B]Bios Default[/B] Refresh Period tREF [B]Bios Default[/B] Enable 2T Timing [B]enabled[/B] Then test the system with [url]www.memtest.org[/url] and make sure it's stable!

felipe rayel Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 Ok I will try.. But one question... What mean use CMD rate 2T ? The normal operation shouldn´t run with 1T or it´s depend on the motherboard/processor ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 18, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 18, 2004 For bios settings, you can search at [url]www.rojakpot.com[/url] or just do a google search for the setting and you will find a description! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
