Corsair DDR2 4GB PC-6400/800 (2x XMS2 2GB) TWIN2X4096-6400C5DHX Ram

One of the modules appears to be faulty. Just running through what I have done:

Both modules installed: random windows errors, read/write errors, failing MemTest86 test

module #1 installed: runs fine

module #2 installed: random windows errors, read/write errors, failing MemTest86 test

the guy I spoke to for warranty and returns asked about what timings I was using, I used the 5-5-5-15 as stated on the packaging and did not alter timings for either of the installs. Since #1 works I doubt this is the problem.

is this enough grounds to claim that the ram is faulty? anything else I can do to make these work?

cheers

Idiot

Check the voltage it may be too low.

ok ram is running 5-5-5-15 at 1.95v. how would i bump it up to 2.1? i cant seem to find the option in my BIOS

On intel 3x chipsets, I believe the ram voltage is labeled as DRAM voltage. It should be under M.I.T settings. If it's not there, try pressing F1 or Ctrl + F1 at the main bios page

Contacted Corsair directly, following their troubleshooting leads me to being faulty. Sending it back RMA for replacement, thanks for the help anyways guys.

Same thing happened to my Corsair Doms, it happened twice actually. I don't know if it's true, but I feel like Corsair makes some very unstable and badly produced RAM.
