Hi all,

Having tried both the SPD and manual settings (when I use SPD the BIOS comes
up with the wrong latency values - it displayes 8-3-3-2.5 when the settings
should be 6-3-3-2), as well as tweaking the core voltage (which btw stays
constant), as well as tweaking the RAM voltage, as well as slowing down the
fsb, agp bus and the processor the problems still remain - I'm thinking
either a HW conflict or bad RAM.
Would anyone have any ideas how to reproduce these errors? I've tried
memory intensive apps and various loading programs to try and get the
computer to malfunction, but during all of these it seems strangely
stable...

Regards,
Jason

Athlon XP 3200+ @2.19GHz

The problem seems to be memory related - I get a few BSODs that display
general page faults, and errors in both the paged and nonpaged memory
areas.
This might indicate a faulty RAM module, which would make sense
considering
the other problems (file corruption when large files are copied, CRC
errors
and general crashes / freezes).
Most of the hardware has been used in other systems, and definitely
works (SCSI, Sound, TV and Video cards all work in an old PIII 800
system).
I have been unable to reproduce the errors that I'm seeing, and I
have
tried using a number of computer loading programs, such as BurnInTest,
CPUBurn, Cacheburst, PCMark etc. I have no other memory to test the
system
with, so I'm asking before I return the modules for testing.
I have been running the system without overclocking, although I
have
changed the RAM latencies in the BIOS to the ones specified by Corsair.
This
seems to make no difference to the problems. I have also tried each
stick
individually on both channels, but the tests are inconclusive as i am
unable
to reproduce the errors 'on demand'.

Any ideas?
