gday.
Corsair Value Select 2x512 ddr2-667. Runs at 5-5-5-15. I could probably walk faster... anyway..
Due to my overclock (p4 630@3.6ghz 240fsb) its been running at ddr-600 4-4-4-12 for 1 week. So, under spec, but tighter timings. SPD says it runs 4-4-4-12 at 533. Been playing UT2004 and CnC Generals:ZH a lot.
Last night when i tried to reinstall windows it kept bsod'n. Changed cdroms, changed hdd's. same problem same point at copying files to hdd ~11%
Took out the 512 stick in second bank and BAM! works like a charm. Took the "bad stick" swapped it into 1st ram slot where the "good stick" was.. errors again...
So my question is, has the one stick of ram gone bad, or is it just the 4-4-4-12 at ddr-600 thats killing it? Keep in mind it ran fine for a week like this. For it to be causing errors now, that would indicate that something isnt right with the stick wouldnt it.. I just want to know so i can get it replaced.. If it has degenerated under tighter timings, it could get worse yeah?
I would re-install windows with it at 5-5-5-15 and see if it bsod's but i just got the system back up for work today and i cant do it agan for a while. Im running on the good stick at 4-4-4-12 now.
Cheers!
