TL;DR
How can a bricked module have its SPD reprogrammed if the motherboard won't boot with the module installed?
I have three kits of DDR2:
2 x Corsair XMS2 CM2X2048-6400C5 - 4GB kit DDR2-800 5-5-5-18 1.8v
2 x Crucial Ballistix BL12864AA106A.8FE5 - 2GB kit DDR2-1066 5-5-5-15 2.0v
2 x OCZ Titanium Alpha VX2 OCZTA1000VX22GK - 2GB kit DDR2-1000 4-4-4-12 2.2v
So I wanted to run 6GB of RAM in Dual Channel configuration on an ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe but the problem was that one each of the Crucial and OCZ modules are faulty. The faulty Crucial module just flat out won't post and the faulty OCZ module throws up erros in Memtest86+ (v5.01). The board posts and boots up with the Corsair kit and the modules from the Crucial and OCZ kits at DDR2-800 4-4-4-12 2.0v but only runs in Single Channel mode due to the mismatched modules. I got the idea that if the SPD of the OCZ and the Crucial modules were the same then I would get Dual Channel working which brought me to the problem of the bricked module. What I did was save the SPD info from the good Crucial module and write that information to the good OCZ module, resulting in the OCZ module causing a no POST situation. Bummer . Is there a way to recover this module because I know it is good with it original SPD info.
Thanks for reading.
