Having stability problems!

[Pr4y3r]

Hello.

Ive got some problems with my computer , it reboots very often and sometimes it wont start.. it just beeps and shows 3 red lights.

I wonder what could cause that to happen so i did reset cmos and checked all power cables and that stuff , but without change.. i still got that problem..

I disconnected the memory stick nearest the CPU (orange socket) then my computer works smooth and stable without any reboots or something.

I want to run with 2 sticks? Whats the problem?? Could it be some Bios settings or do i got a non-working memory?

Thanks for the help and sorry for my bad english

Test each stick of memory one at a time in the orange slot furthest from the processor. Run MemTest tests #5 and #8, 8-10 passes. If no errors run the complete set of tests 3-4 hours. If both sticks pass repeat the tests with both sticks installed. Tests #5 and #8, 8-10 passes. If no errors run the complete set of tests 8-10 hours.

Sounds pretty much like my first pair of Ballistix (I had 2*512). Mine didn't generate any errors at beginning, the faulty sticks was able to run single channel in the two top slots.

RMA them and now it works fine.

There is a huge thread on this on the forum called Crucial Ballistix 2x1GB PC4000 kit gone bad (merged). If your settings were previously stable, it's possible that you have one of the bad sets and it will need to be RMA'd... MemTest each stick separately as above, if you get errors on one of the sticks then you'll have to RMA them both...
