HI I am Abhijit,

My PC configuraion is celeron D2.5 GHz,Foxconn 9-gls Motherboard,grabiit cabine(300 W ps),40 gb samsung hard disk,2 ram moduls in dual configuration both of hynix but when i plug in both the rams pc starts well and after a while running an applicaion or palying a game either the application terminated(some cannot read from memory 0*00000 memory referance error) or machine automatically reboots after that stating system has recovered from serious error and when i take one ram out it doesn't happen but when i replace the ram with second one pc does not boot on that ram but it boots when two rams are there pls suggest me a solution why the second ram is not working and also tell me is there any utility to detect ram clock freqencies

Waiting for reply :oops: :oops:

second ram module could be faulty...
try this utility

take your second ram module and scrub its gold plated ends with an eraser . if it doesnt solve the problem switch the modules and if still the problem persists it could be faulty ram slot . or else your second ram could be a faulty one.

thanx for u r replys but if the second ram is faulty and i plug in both the rams the sytem works fine and also shows 512 MB memory without any problem its just that whenever running an application or game the error comes or matchine reboots.

:cry: :cry:

Exact configuration

HI techies this is abhijit again following is my ram,processor,and shipset configuration according to pcwizard 2005(Trustable ?????)(pls bare with me as its quite lenghty but desparatly need solution)
ram(2 modules dual channel)
Chipset Information :
Type : DDR-SDRAM PC2100

CAS Latency (tCL) : 2.5 clocks
RAS to CAS (tRCD) : 3 clocks
RAS Precharge (tRP) : 3 clocks
Cycle Time (tRAS) : 6 clocks

Information SPD EEPROM (A0) :
Manufacturer : Unspecified
Part Number : Unspecified
Serial Number : Unspecified
Type : DDR-SDRAM PC2100 (133 MHz)
Size : 256 MB (1 rows, 4 banks)
Module Buffered : No

Voltage : SSTL 2.5v
Supported Frequencies : 133 MHz
CAS Latency (tCL) : 2.5 clocks @133 MHz
RAS to CAS (tRCD) : 3 clocks @133 MHz
RAS Precharge (tRP) : 3 clocks @133 MHz
Cycle Time (tRAS) : 6 clocks @133 MHz

Information SPD EEPROM (A2) :

RAS Precharge (tRP) : 2 clocks @100 MHz, 3 clocks @133 MHz
Cycle Time (tRAS) : 5 clocks @100 MHz, 6 clocks @133 MHz


now the problem is both rams showing same fsb 133 mhz but they are different and my motherboard supports ram freqency upto 400 mHz why showing 133 only and next thing is about processor
General Information :
Real Frequency : 2526.23 MHz
Multiplier : 19x
Low/High Multiplier : 14x / 19x
Overclock Locked : Yes

Front Side Bus Information :
FSB Frequency : 133 MHz
Bus Speed : 531.8 MHz (QDR)

Initial Frequencies :
Frequency : 2533 MHz
FSB Frequency : 133 MHz
Multiplier : 19x

again only showing fsb 133MHz but it is celeron D 533 Mhz fsb dont know where the problem is pls reply anyone as soon as possible :cry: :cry: :cry:
