supershanks Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 Probably either 1 of these Tagan TG480-U22 480W ATX2.01 2Force SLi Compliant Silent PSU or Tagan TG480-U01 480W ATX2.0 SLi Compliant Silent PSU (CA-000-TG) 1st is a switchable 12 v either 12v1=20A & 12v2=20A Or 12v=30A. 2nd older module as in my sig 12v=28A Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepath Posted October 31, 2005 Posted October 31, 2005 Cheers (yet again!) Right then to answer all the questions 1. All 4 power sockets are connected into mobo... (atx, the one next to it and teh 2 chained off each other) 2. Tagan PSU is the Tagan TG480-U22 480W ATX2.01 2Force SLi Compliant Silent PSU - and I confirm that its in "combined mode" giving 30A on +12V line. 3. I've tried all published drivers from 77.71 and now with 81.85 all offered the same results. 4. I do have theSLI power lead plugged into GFX card. I'm just about to run another test with the 'reboot' option disabled. (no bios setting changes yet) ... stay tuned for feedback Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepath Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 OK LanceDiamond has finally helped me get a BSOD! Hurrah - its the first time I've been glad to see one (sort of!) Anyway got a NON_PAGED_FAULT in dxg.sys ... I wrote the stop code as 5D but googling says its 50... luckily I too a photo so can check later! Assuming that it is a 0x50 stop code ... googling says its memory related - so I feel I'm back at square 1! yet again suggestions on postcard please! 1. Should I have updated any drivers when updating the BIOS to 6-23? 2. It looks like dxg.sys is part of Windows OS not DirectX... as I am up to date on all XP service packs (thanks(?) to windows update) is this yet another variable in the equation?

malinois1 Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 Hi Hepath, Have you tried OCZ support forums? Go to www.bleedinedge.com then go to the ocz support section. Also this page has some settings from the folks at OCZ that may help http://www.bleedinedge.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9833 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepath Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 Thanks for that although I have done that - I think I'm posting on any forum relevant Ryder has sent me some settings to try tonight. I'll post how they go; but for now I'm still interested in what the stop code actually means and if it is realted to a memory timing problem.

LanceDiamond Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 Almost certain you're getting a stop 0x50, not a 0x5D - but if it IS a 5D, there is only one KB article on Microsoft about 5D: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=282500 99% sure you don't have this problem - it's old, it applied to Windows 2000 and you'd be seeing it at or near boot, not after running some. Stop 0x50 seems to be caused by either a horked driver or an actual memory (hardware) problem. Google this: site:microsoft.com stop 0x00000050 and you'll see a bunch of info on stop 0x50 errors. I was able to find one reference to dxg.sys being involved in a stop 0x50: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=822043 Might also try this google: "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA dxg.sys" and you'll see a bunch of stuff game related and dxg.sys... I would severely relax memory timings, as slow as you can stand, maybe even use a divider if you're not already. If you get the stop with timings really slow like that, then either you have bad memory or some driver problem. I'd also remove/clean/reinstall directX and the NVidia display drivers, and maybe try the whole process of producing the problem with one stick of memory in, then the other - with relaxed timing on the memory. Yes, I did work at Microsoft for a while hehe... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spartacus Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 >>I would severely relax memory timings, as slow as you can stand Would seem so, but I've seen where slow timings actually cause the problems.

Hepath Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Cheers Spartacus I might give those a go. RyderOCZ sent me some timings to try, but they just caused [for want of a better phrase] "quicker instability" @Lance: I'll look those errors up, thanks for the links. I had actually thought about removing all the directx and drivers and going with 1 memstick... so i might try that if I have time at the weekend. I'll keep you posted (pun intended!)

Hepath Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Ok I installed the new BIOS (6-23) but didn't update the drivers.... I still used the original disk that came with the mobo in the package... Is this going to cause me problems! If so I guess I need to update the drivers having gone to DFI site I could only find the SLI-DR board listed so assume my SLI-D is the same (sans some raid ports). What should I download? I assume as a minimum: NVIDIA System Driver : Revision 6.53 LAN Drivers Revision 7.29 As an aside - at the end of the day the plats are DDR600 and would I be better off getting some of the memory that the mobo natively supports?

supershanks Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 hi Hepath, sorry you still have issues you've got good advise on memory so i'll leave that, a thing did cross my mind, may be worth a try :confused: put your tagan in 2 rail mode. Part of the argument 4 dual rail was better power quality, your not stressing your psu with a shed load of peripherals Re drivers i always prefer 1 stop shopping so Welcome to the NVIDIA software download page. version 6.70 was released last week & is newer than anything on the dfi site. it's your call re memory but u often find it only needs a tweak & it's sorted just how long u look?? :confused: cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepath Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Man alive! Do you know how many times I've been to that page and not noticed the NForce drivers!! Far too many! I'll do that tonight! With repsect to the memory - as long as the concensus is that the board can quite happily use the plats (which is DDR600) I'll go with it. My concern was that the literature for the mobo only rated DDR400 and that OCZ plat was not listed in the suggested memory for overclocking. I want to persist I really do!
