Fuck Crucial. Never buying their RAM again.

The first sticks were straight up bad.
Now one of these pieces of shit is playing hide and seek and I'm 99% sure that's why the system is turning off randomly. Sometimes it shows 4GB, then the machine is off. Turn it on, POOF! 2GB.
Lifetime warranty my ass. I sent dogshit, cheap ass RAM to G.Skill a year ago and you know what they sent me? BRAND NEW RAM. Not this used crap.
What a bunch of slimy Jews. Way to lose a customer assholes!

Doesn't work in my motherboard, either. And my RAM works fine in his board.

Do you have a problem with local shipping companies damaging your packages or something? You need to understand that Crucial is the actual end-user product sales division of Micron. Most sticks of RAM, regardless of manufacturer, are using chips sourced from Micron or Hynix. It would be very difficult and irrational to swear off Micron forever due to what could very well be a local problem. It sounds like the issue with the sticks you have now is a broken solder connection somewhere resulting in a loss of electrical continuity depending on various factors including expansion or contraction of materials due to environmental conditions. This could easily be caused by a hit in shipping!

My gripe is that they are sending me used, poorly tested RAM. Everyone else sends me brand new stuff. This is the first time I've had something with their RAM chips fail, but they don't stand behind their product.

But if it's REALLY a big deal, check what type of RAM your motherboard is compatible with (DDR2 or DDR3) and maybe switch to Corsair?

I always check the Qualified Vendor List on my motherboard's website whenever I buy new RAM. Least that's what I did when I bought RAM the last time.

I'll keep buying their SSD's but these guys do not stand behind their RAM...at all. The quality is still there but the warranty isn't.

ah well, we can only hope that the first chip is a dud so we can get another rage thread

Actually, I'm eyeing a used 2500k on eBay, and a Z77-D3H.

the problem isn't so much the RAM itself as it is the customer support when a bad product is shipped out

from some of the other computer forums i've read that Gigabyte is starting to do the same shit. -sending back the same board with no fixes or used boards with different issues-

I still wanna buy whoever runs Biostar's RMA department a beer. God damn that was a great experience. That little fucker is still ticking away in my friend's PC, with a pretty decent voltage bump (4.73 VCore, +.1 HT, +.1 NB/HT, +.1 NB).
