Hi guys,
I know alot of people on here are experienced with corsair memory and I have been using this system for the past 12 months:
AMD X2 4400+ AM2 (2x1mb cache @2.8ghz)~2x512mb Corsair XMS2 6400 DDR2 RAM CL4~Ati Radeon X1900XT 512mb~2x19" Widescreen 8ms~ASUS M2N-E~Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS pro~ Altec 5.1 Surround.
Aware of the up and coming games this summer i ordered XMS2 2x1gb 6400 DDR2 CL5 from here
On installing the memory, i moved my current memory to the black slots, and installed the 2 new memory sticks into the yellow slots. With the power disconnected. I then booted up my system, and when it came to the windows XP load screen it rebooted after 5 seconds. This happened every time, even if i only put my old memory in. I tested the new memory in another system and it would not boot either. In fact, when I put the memory in on its own, only the fans startup. Nothing appears on screen.
I'm quite surprised that I have recieved faulty corsair memory, and upset that I have had to reinstall XP after it became corrupted.
Before I send the product back, I'd just like to ask anyone if they have had similar issues or if they are known compatibility issues with my system.
Thanks
Rik
