It wont let me post a link to a picture, I took of the screen showing the errors, even though I'm a customer it says I can't do it?

But anyway been having serious issues with gaming and being kicked out with "Error the memory could not be read"

Memtest through up a lot of errors I have a link to the screenshot but as I said above I can't actually post it.

It's telling me there is a problem but I don't know if it's bad RAM or the times are wrong etc?

running XP
GTX 8800
PK5 Quad Core 2.5MHz oc to 3MHz
4 GIG Ram

any idea of how to get the screen shot up?

Replace the * with the "h" to see the screen.

hope someone can help?

hi, could you give us some more information like 32 or 64 bit and are you using xp3.

Do you only getting errors whilst gaming ? if so what is the error code.

I think you need to post a few more times before you can link pictures.

unfortunatelly you have dead or undervolted memory. try to go into the BIOS and see how much voltage does the ram get. it should be arround 2.1. also as you have 4 sticks, try to downclock it a bit - probably down to 900Mhz. you wont see much difference in performance, but should sort your problems Smile

ok i am assuming you have two sticks, 2GB each, yes?

It's possible the memory could be bad, the timings look ok, but I would need to know more about the memory, type and specs.


Try this because if any one of the sticks is seated wrongly, or somehow shifted it could bring up errors.

1.) First shut down pc and unplug it, then press the power button to discharge any excess power in MB.

2.) Then remove the ram and then put it back making sure it is seated well.

3.) Power back up pc and run memtest, check the results.

Should you have any errors again with both sticks in place, I would repeat step 1. and remove one stick of ram and then reboot, checking the single stick with memtest.
(then repeat, exchanging the stick for the one you previously removed)
This is to determine which stick is bad if any.
This is the only way to check each individual stick.

Should any one of the sticks show errors individually, you will need to exchange the pair for a good set.

If the PC is in warranty, Vadim will exchange; they are usually very good about this.

Good luck.

Hi sorry total noob here, I never set this up, the guys at Vadim did for me.

I can just about work my way around the bios, could you give me a few tips of where to look so I can report back.

How do I down cloak the Ram, really dont mind losing a bit of performance for fuller stability

Hi Vincent,

Ok he has four sticks, makes more sense.


Prismv
if you still wish to test your memory, the method I shared should still be done, but do not mix up you pairs of memory, as you test each stick individually.

Make sure you keep the pairs together / seperated from the other pair as you test individually.

slot 1 & 3 are a pair
slot 2 & 4 are a pair

Have fun and enjoy the process, this is what owning a Vadim is all about. Having Fun. Even when it means getting your hands dirty under the hood.

Enjoy!


Cheers Vincent!

I'll check the voltage first and see if that fixes things.

No idea what to look for on the timings lol but I'll have a dabble.

Ok I checked the Bios

I saw DRAM Voltage was at 2.20 V is this correct or should I change it?

I also saw DRAM FHZ it was at 1000 MHZ, I had the option to change it to either 833 MHZ or 1333MHZ not 900?

Are these the correct settings if so what should I change them to please?

If I can try that first, then I'll do the Ram checking if that doesnt fix things
