Memory Failure

[shakerist]

Hi guys, well i recieved my 1055t and my m4a89gtd pro so i put everything together but i think my ram has failed i have ocz gold 1600mhz ive put one of them in one slot and the computer just starts beeping with the red led for the memok on so i removed that, the other one is ok but when i was installing windows 7 it just froze and the computer started beeping again, the red led when you turn the computer one flashes and then starts to boot so whats my problem is it the ram or something else should i RMA it.

using the stick of ram that works have you gone into the BIOS and adjusted the Memory voltage and clock timings to suit your memory?

Yes it was set on auto on 1.5v i then set it to 1.7v as it should be and set the timings to 8-8-8, but i still got the red led on the mem ok so i pressed memok again and only set it to 1.7 and left the timings and still it didnt work

hmm after a bit of fiddling in the bios i got the working to stick to finish installing windows 7, now i need some good memory testing software any ideas? and also do i rma the set or individually

Use something like Memtest

You should send the whole kit back not just one stick. In fact, if you've had them for under 7 days I'd really consider sending them back under DSR for a refund rather than being messed around by the RMA process. Loads of bad reports about the recent OCZ Gold batches, get your money back and get something like Corsair/Kingston for reliability.

hmm i used mem test for 1 and half hours it had no errors, on 1067mhz when i put it on 1333mhz on prime blend the computer just froze, I wish i never purchased these a few months ago as a 15 year old on a budget when I saw ram prices were increasing i saw the pair for 80 pounds and purchased it, now i feel like a retard on scan there are corsair 1600mhz for 70 pounds, OCZ rma anygood, lol i think if i build a pc for my friends ill just stick the ocz in and get the corsair with the money
