A6437 Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 You should try just leaving the Hard Drive connected and disconnect everything else like floppy and CD drive. I tried adding too many Cd drives and upon putting the last one in it would freeze at the windows loading screen. disconnecting the druve made it work properly so maybe my power supply wasn't strong enbough or something but try it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimTjik Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Before you start any installation I think you ought to make some adjustments concerning the voltage for the processor: - Since you're not running any OC system yet change CPU VID StartUp Value to 1.35 - 1.40 (right now you're giving it to much; this is as it reads a start up value, not what will be in affect when your operating system takes over) - Increase CPU VID Control to 1.35 - Set CPU VID Special Control to 104 % Your CPU voltage settings are a bit strange, so next time you enter BIOS do this changes, please.

sound-tekkie Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 hmm when i put a cd in the cd drive on boot mode it did restart... its an idea, as soon as mem test is done i will have a look. I dont see the problem being my psu cause of the quality and wattage etc, i only have 1 cd drive connected, and no floppy drive, still ill explore any possibility.

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but every time you make some changes i BIOS and save&exit the system will repost. That's normal proceedure. But maybe you had something else in mind. Perfect your memory seem to work then! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

blinker0 Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Set your DRAM Responce time to auto.. or the lowest settings. You memory may not be able to handle the faster responce times And try setting TRC to 14 and TRFC to 16 What are the options for your "DRAM Drive strength" and your DRAM DATA DRIVE STRENGTH?
