Hello dear forum users,

EDIT: The ram i'm using is 4x 512Mb Elixir PC3200/DDR400 ram

I'm in need of support for my ram. Recently my pc started to freeze up, and get no, weren't able to use mouse or keyboard including CTRL+ALT+DEL as well. I ran a MemTest using ( hcidesign.com/memtest ) and had some errors occuring, looking like this:"Memory error detected! Pair 28507496 does not store values accurately. MemTest has detected that your computer cannot accurately store data in RAM. You need to fix this." ( the pair 28507496 is not the only pair that gets the error message ). I shortly after ran CPU-Z to take some pictures for you users. To see if anything's wrong ( apparently there is ). So they look like this:

If you are in need to see further of my pc speccs be free to ask, i can do a dxidag, and the CPU-Z log if needed. If anyone finds an error and know how to solve it, please tell me how to then, most likely a step-by-step guide. As i ain't the best at it.

Thanks for your help in advance,

Jakob Thau

First thing I would try is swapping the modules in slot 3 to slot 4 and 4 to 3 then run memtest. If that doesn't work then test each stick independently. Then try running them in pairs. You may have bad modules or one stick just doesn't like being paired up with another.

Thanks will do, i'll let you know if this weren't to solve the problem. Thanks for the answer anyway :)
