Memory_Management ARGH

[Youngie1337]

I have been getting some annoying BSOD, MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, and IRQL_NOT_LESS_NOR_EQUAL. These problems I have had on 2 computers, and it's been the memory in which caused this. I have just emailed the shop I brought asking for confirmation on how to replace the item. Do you think I have a chance of getting a replacement, considering the RAM is like 3-4weeks old, and hasn't even been loosened/oc'd.

I was pretty gutted when I started getting many errors, I'm turning off this computer for good now, hoping to get some new RAM and new PSU .

Do I have my rights for new RAM with RMA considering I did naff all to the RAM.

If you havent o/c anything, then thats a downer Come on you can tell us, you tried injecting 8 kilo watts into them, didnt you, huh huh

Only time I've seen those errors is with o/c. To get it without one is dire indeed. Which brand of memory and mobo are they out of curiosity?

Have you checked that the Corsair RAM is on the approved vendors list for that motherboard? I had some of that Corsair XMS2 RAM and my ASUS motherboard hated it.

of course you're entitled to a replacement

usually the first 12 months you just return them to the place of purchase.

after that, i just go straight to the manufacturers most of the time.

i've recently had to replace a couple of kits of the corsair xms stuff myself. a 2x1gb 6400 kit and a 2x2gb 6400 kit.

i just called scan, sent em in and approx a week later had the replacements up n running

[edit]

i know it's not from the shop you purchased, but:

Corsair's DRAM memory modules all carry a lifetime warranty.

, some good news there then, but I got to send at my own expense lol :P, not like I mind or that, was just a bit snotty the way they sent the Email. The item should be 100% faulty, or the store charges hardware checking fee's and delivery.

Will be checking them each stick at a time, there shouldn't be 1 error should there?

Make sure you test with the advertised clock speeds, timmings and voltages. Dont leave anything on auto unless its not specified by the maker.

Anywhere I can find the timings? The BIOS reported it running @ auto, which is correct seeing as I haven't altered it. Anyone care to post a link to a site with information?.

Thank you.

You already know the timings for the memory;

So 4-4-4-12, from left to right;

CAS latency, tRCD(RAS to CAS delay), tRP(RAS precharge), tRAS(Active to Precharge delay).

If there is a CMD or 1T or 2T. This is referancing the command rate.
