Kindly assist with some info if my rams are faulty. I recently acquired a set of XMS 1Gb 3200XL LED programable kit, however when i boot them up the activity starts with 4 rows of activity lighted up however when the system starts for about 5 secs later one of the activity goes off n in total i m see 3 rows of activity light instead of the 4 rows of activity that i m suppose to see. have swapped them around with the other slots still the same. In the system it still shows a total of 1GB
Ran Memtest for couple of hours with no errors reported
These rams are new they are not overclocked
pls assist...
Many thanks
Full Version: Ram Activity showing 3 out of 4
Actually I don't think there is anything wrong with your PRO modules.
The LED usually goes off and on at boot.. so it is normal.
Did all the LED turned on when running memtest? If yes, then you have no problem.
Btw, what did you mean by 4 rows of activity LEDs?
XMS PRO modules have 9 rows of LED in total, where 3 is green, 3 orange and 3 red.

ok hope i dont confuse here, mine is a XMS3200XL it shows 2 rows of ram activity and one row of complete customisable scrolling text. hence each time when the systme is on the default text scrolls across the modules with the 2 ram activity showing the rams are being accessed.
my prob here is that the text scrolls fine only 1 stick out of the 2 sticks has a ram activity problem. instead of 2 active rows of ram activity being active, one is totally dead. However i have isolated and concluded that its the fault of the contact nothing major here, as i have done countless benchmarks and memtest for hours without any errors or BSOD. Spoken to Corsair over in USA and they recommend that i RMA it. Some argue that i should get what i pay for, the bling bling stuff...
doing an RMA is fine but the waiting time kills, no rams no gaming for at least a month.
Thanks for yr response btw
Oh..... yours is XPERT, bro..... not PRO.
Well, actually you can try swapping the display modules and see if the modules are faulty (or isolate the faulty one). If one of the display module is faulty, you can RMA the display module only. You can perhaps try talking to Corsair.
If you find the memory (which powers the display) to be faulty, you gotta RMA the whole thing.
Anyways, happy RMA-ing!
*I wish I had my XPERT back!*
