Blue screen error :/ Chances are it's my ram settings...

[Guest jasonh]

I went with these settings:

 

with the 5/10-2 bios you should be able to set these DRAM Timings:

 

DRAM Configuration Settings:

 

DRAM Frequency Set - 200 (DRAM/FSB:1/01)

Command Per Clock (CPC) - Enable

CAS Latency Control (Tcl) - 2.0

RAS# to CAS# delay (Trcd) - 02 Bus Clocks

Min RAS# active time (Tras) - 05 Bus Clocks

Row precharge time (Trp) - 02 Bus Clocks

Row Cycle time (Trc) - 07 Bus Clocks

Row refresh cyc time (Trfc) - 17 Bus Clocks

Row to Row delay (Trrd) - 02 Bus Clocks

Write recovery time (Twr) - 02 Bus Clocks

Write to Read delay (Twtr) - 02 Bus Clocks

Read to Write delay (Trwt) - 02 Bus Clocks

Refresh Period (Tref) - 3120 Cycles

Write CAS Latency (Twcl) - Auto

DRAM Bank Interleave - Enabled

 

 

 

DQS Skew Control - Auto

DQS Skew Value - 0

DRAM Drive Strength - Auto

DRAM Data Drive Strength - Auto

Max Async Latency - Auto

Read Preamble Time - Auto

IdleCycle Limit - 256 Cycles

Dynamic Counter - Disable

R/W Queue Bypass - 16 x

Bypass Max - 07 x

32 Byte Granularity - Disable(8 Bursts)

 

For some reason if I open like 3 instances of ultima online (which isn't demanding..) or if i leave my pc running for a while (like 3 days) it'll randomly blue screen... The last big issue was yesterday it was so bad that when it blue screened, i restaretd and i got the wonderful "error loading operating system." after trying everything i ended up having to reformat :/

 

I thought that might have stopped the blue screens but in ultima again today i had 3 instanes of Ultima online going fine but then i opened a 4th and bam blue screen...

 

Any ideas? :confused:

Maybe but there certainly are users of the thing reporting the drivers cause crashes as I cruise the net. Think two users in here even mention and oddity.

 

RGone..

[Guest jasonh]

so you're thinking its my razer drivers O.o... I highly doubt that because it didn't start before this motherboard and ram. I thought it could possibly be my atheros wireless drivers but I don't know...

[Guest jasonh]

bump :/

[lordbane]

Row Cycle time (Trc) - 07 Bus Clocks

Row refresh cyc time (Trfc) - 17 Bus Clocks

 

Hmmm....I thought that the RAM configuration guide says that it's best to keep these within 2-3 of each other for best results.

 

I have mine at 09/12 respectively.

 

That's the only thing in your RAM config that stands out for me as being a possible issue.

 

An unstable overclock (especially with memory) can cause corruption on hard drives. I've had it happen to me a few times when pushing my system a little too hard.

 

I assume it passes MEMTEST, etc ok? Prime95 stable? How are your temps in the case?

[Guest jasonh]

Ya temps are cool everythings great. I dunno about setting them within 2-3 of each other that's just what was PM'ed to me when I personally asked angry... So you think i should change thoes to what you have:

 

Row Cycle time (Trc) - 09 Bus Clocks

Row refresh cyc time (Trfc) - 12 Bus Clocks

[Guest jasonh]

bumping again..> :/

[Guest jasonh]

THe bios is the one that Angry told me to use so probably the one it's supposed to be

 

And no i did not connect 4 connectors into my board because there are only 3. The 24pin, the 4pin and the one that looks like your standard cd/dvd/hd power cable.

 

Also these settings:

I guess I can just change mine to them, but what will this do for my pc? Will it slow it down? I thought the 2-2-2-5 was better :/ I don't encode so i figured the tighter the better.

[Sharp]

Hello,

 

There are 4 power connectors.

- Look under the CPU socket for the floppy one.

 

The timings I said are like a fail safe set.

Yes they are slower than 2-2-2-5 but should work for any 2-2-2-5 module.

 

When try to solve a problem you should test loose timings.

 

Make sure you put the 4th power connector into the board, this might solve your problem.

[Guest jasonh]

Ok I changed the settings to what you suggested, and the only thing that I couldn't change was:

 

32 Byte Granularity..................Disable (8 Bursts)

 

I don't have Disable (8 bursts) I only have: Disable (2 bursts) and Disable (4 bursts)
