OCZ RAM Problem

[dfinovice00]

I am new to DFI board. I just bought DFI UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert and 2x1GB OCZ RAM PC3200, 2-3-2-5, (1024MB EL Dual Channel Plantinum Edition) with P/N: OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K.

 

When I installed 1GB in Slot 2 (first orange slot), I encountered no problem at all. However, when I installed 2x1GB into Slot 2 and 4 (both Orange) the system booted up into Windows. However, it restarted for a few times and go to a screen where it shows some file directory and stopped there!

 

I have not changed BIOS settings or its version at all (Nov 2005).

 

Could anyone advise me:

 

1. if I have to change any setting in the BIOS or change its versions?

2. if so, could I follow the setting given on:

Please help me, anyone....

Try slots 1 and 3 OR 2 and 4. Also, make sure you have set the proper timings, voltages, etc.. for that RAM in the BIOS.

Thanks for your advice. I am learning to do what you have suggested. In addition, I am running Memtest 86 at the moment.

 

If anyone is using the same RAM, please advise me on the settings that would work.

 

I really appreciate your help. Thank you very much.

bump your voltage up to 2.74 or above..not past 2.8 though

 

set

 

tcl=2(cas)

trcd=3(ras to cas)

trp=2(ras precharge)

tras=5(act to precharge)

 

that is as far as i have set mine and they run stable through 8 iterations on memtest (8x 8 tests)

 

i haven't messed with any of the other settings yet, i need to do a lot more reading first

 

good luck

Thank you so much for your advice. I will try what you suggested! I will let everyone knows.

ur ram is warranted up to 2.9v

Hi cdidhe,

 

What is your setting like? Please advise me if you have time.

 

By the way, I thought it is guaranteed up to 2.8V only. I looked at:

Yes the rev 2 is warranted up to 2.9v im assuming that’s what u have since it is a new purchase. Sorry about being so long to get back to u on my settings there dfin…well I was unable to use the orange slots but yellow worked fine. I did not have to adjust any timings for they all worked on auto. It seems the max mhz @ such is about 230 so to run my oc @ 2.5ghz I had to use a divider 9:10 and up the volts to 2.8. I can run 250 mhz by loosing my cas to 3 but I have found (personally) to have better performance and stability using a divider. But then again ur using expert so ……lol who knows.

The best thing is to do ur homework.

I have OCZ titanium 2 x 512 and they get errors on memtest when running dual channel but they work fine without dual (Can't run dual channel) do you think the same might apply to my memory?
