problem with epox board or ram?
 

Here's the deal

I'm running an Epox Nforce 4 ultra board, i run my old 333speed 1GB set of ram with it and everything runs great, no crashes runs BF 2 at 70 frames.

I put my new corsair dual channel 2GB set of ram set the timings to 2336 and i load BF 2 and i get the following errors and/or blue screen "Physical Memory Dump"





My question being, is this a motherboard problem or is my ram dead?

thanks

download this app [g]Memtest86+[/g] and burn the CD image to CD, then boot with the CD and check your system stability.

the memtest app tests your memory for stability issues

did that, 14 passes 690,000 errors

well.. either you are running your memory out of spec (how is your memory setup in the BIOS? SPD/Auto or did you manually configure timings?) or the memory is indeed faulty.

you are not overclocking your system?

corsair is graded for 2336 timings and i've run it at that and at 3338 which is what the board detects it as.

And no overclocking on any other components, i want to get it running before i overclock anything.

in that case, Corsair RMA: http://www.houseofhelp.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=44522

thanks for the link but i just RMAed the set thru newegg:)

Could this be a result of bad dimm slots? i don't want to ruin another set of ram.

I was also getting this BSOD



However when i put the old ram in everything is fine, sept things run a bit slower, i imagine because it's 1GB instead of 2.

thanks again

if your DIMM slot on the motherboard is broken, you "old ram" would not work either; so it's most likely the new memory
