will h4x 4 food Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 when i installed my other 2 512 sticks od ocz performance ram it worked fine on stock, but when i oced my cpu to 2.4 and put a 5/6 divider on the ram to make it equal 200mhx(which is the stock speed) there are problems. in windows i cant play a video without my screen going black and freezing. also in mozilla firefox im getting little red dots that look like hot pixels but arent. i have tried every single voltage/timing configuration u can think of. i set the ram to 2T. are there any other things i should try? :confused: :confused: Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
divided Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 what psu you using? please list your COMPLETE specs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlowerKing Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Sometimes you need to play with your ram timings. You ran at 5/6 with 2 sticks as well? What are your current ram timings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
will h4x 4 food Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 well..i got it workin at a 3/4 divider which is a about 184 mhz and the cpu at 2.75 . i can live with that. but when i use a 5/6 divider which brings it to about 196 mhz it cant play video. my psu is an aspire 500 watt. also i have been playin around with the timings alot but im not sure what some of the options mean. could some1 explain to me what the most stable timings i could use? and yes i use a 5/6 as well with my 2 sticks and it worked fine at 2-3-2-5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
will h4x 4 food Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 if some1 listed all of the options in the dram section of my BIOS and put the most stable settings it would be REALLY helpful and i would greatly appreciate it. sorry for the double post also.

lowboy Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 A good Alist PSU would help as aspire's are known poor quality no matter what wattage they say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawasaki 1 Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Make sure you adjust the LDT/FSB ratio to x4 or even x3. I have my ram sitting at 240 mhz right now and are doing just fine. Mine are G.Skill though and yes, the PSU matters a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
will h4x 4 food Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 yea well my ram cant oc for sh!t and my psu is crap...eventually ill get a new 1 but for now im doin fine. 4360 in 3dmark 06!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spine Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 My DFI nf3 just has problems with 4 sticks of 512 ram as opposed to 2 sticks. It's a motherboard issue, possibly a DFI one I suspect. I have abeefy 600w Enermax PSU as well. I get the video crashing as well (phew, thought it was ONLY me) but only if I use a 3/2 divider. If I use a 6/5 divider the issues go away despite the ram running at a faster frequency. It goes like this for me: 285 HTT, 10x multi, ram @ 190mhz (3/2) = unstable, videos crash system. 285 HTT, 10x multi, ram @ 238mhz (6/5) = stable, no problems. My ram is only pc3200 (200mhz) crucial, yet it runs stably at 238mhz as opposed to 190mhz simply because the divider seems to screw things up. So if your mobo is anything like mine, you might get better luck, ironically, with making your ram run faster (even if you have to run it at far looser timings).

THunDA Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 now i have a new antec 550 watt PSU and the problem is STILL happening....You have a complete page of ram timings in bios..What are your current ram timings?Please list them as TheFlowerKing asked a few posts up and maybe we can suggest something. When running 4x512mb's sometimes you need to loosen timings to get it stable.. Just because one set of timings work with 2x512mb's it doesnt mean it will work with 4x512mb's..
