| 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 -Ray |

| 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

| 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. |

| 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 -Ray |

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