A while back I was usig my samung 512mb ram.
I got another stick of ram made by umm idk...the ramdacs have K-byte on it.
I just got some stuff they has at bestbuy cuase I had money to spend and i was like woohoo 1gb ram!!

So i had both in there. After playing CS:S for a while it would crash and reboot.

I let this ahppen for a long time.

I was wokrin ont he comp and was liek maybe they dont work together? So i took the kbyte bakc out. It itself works fine on another comp.

But with my samsung it crashes or I believe that was the problem.

Could the latency timing be off? Like if you have different stick do you need ot change the timing o match eachother or sumthin?
 
ramdac = something on a video card ;)

but anyway, does it crash with the new stick in by itself, that was giving trouble with the other stick?
 
AHHH makes sense?
Thanx


I have always had my samsung ram in my gmaing comp. Witht both DIMMS in it crashed. But liek only during CS mainly. I also remeber atthe time CS crashed anyways but not as frequent. Now CS Never crashes but I think thats b/c of a bug fix. This would ahve been back in January.

The ram by itsself runs fine in another computer.
That means the DIMMS are not bad but can they be incomaptible?
I don't knwo much about latency timings but if ram has different timings cna thye run at the timings that they normally run or do they have to compromise and run at the same timing?

If that's the problem I could change the timings right?

I will tyr putting the ram back in and do some testing. Mem test here i come.
 
seems to be working now. Not sure. It passed prime95 torture test for a while until i stopped it cause i wanted to try soem CS:S out. Didn't crash on that but i ddin't paly much. Will update later.
 
ram generally should run at the latency of the stick with highest timings ;)
 
i got a BSOD type error. said soemthing about physical memory dump blah blah
it basically said the problem could be anything on my computer...
but it also sadi somthing aout umm i bleive nv4sumthin.dll which i bleieve is my video card crap.

does that mean my video card was overheating?

i checked the ram the elir/k-byte ram was hot

samsung was cool

turned voltage down to 2.6 from 2.7
 
Played CS for about 20min, froze, waited for a while, restarted and took RAM out.
 
so youre trying to run two different dimms in dual channel mode?

thats a no-no. it can give issues like the ones you are describing. try running the two sticks together in single channel mode and maybe dropping the command rate to 2T.
 
try loosening timings and raising the command rate... both dimms work alone, right? they might just be incompatable...
 
DAMNIT

cheap but expensive....$96

BITCHES

I wasn't allowed to order online...
 
Best Buy charges like double what you can get ram for online. Just a thought, I cringe when anyone says they bought ram at Best Buy, unless there is a great Mail-In-Rebate
