Luc Quaedackers

hello, i really need help.

A few days ago i got a bue screen with the error message: memory menagment. so I did a test with memtest86, in test 1 I got over 500 error's.

So i pulled one dim out and ran the test again. no error's what so ever, when i switched the dim's the same happend. but when i putted them both back in i got over 500 error's in test 1 again.

 

I'm using corsair CML8GX3m2A1600c9 ram Sticks.

can somebody pleas explain to me what i need to do.

 

thanks in advance

they shouldnt be allowed to sell boards that dont work 100%. There may be people who dont know how to flash the Bios (me included) :/

Relax the timings (are you reading SPD values?), and maybe get a BIOS update.

I tried everything and I gues it's just faulty memory, i'm going to send the modules back and hope i get new ones.

I want to thank you all for helping out.
