IncredibleHat Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 If I actually knew what the definition of a cold boot problem is, I may know if I have had it, and overcome it or not LOL! I do know I have had a lot of times where the machine remains black... beeps long, then does nothing. usually this requires me to clear cmos, because yanking power for a minute or two doesnt appear to help. Is this what a cold boot problem is? Or do you mean, its too 'cold' literally... lol, which I find to be pretty hard to understand why tempurature has anything to do with it.

ooztuncer Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 yes, you are experiencing cold boot issues and most likely it is due to your seasonic s12-600 psu - take a peek at nf4 section and you will see an active s12 thread. Rma ur psu is my advice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creek Tha Gray Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 The first set of ram was bad I have a new set and I will have the overclock soon working out the max. And I have a set with the 3-5-5-10 SPD I was wondering if you could add a ine at the top of your chart for what cpu-z shows as the SPD so we can see if the old is better then the new.

IncredibleHat Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 ooztuncer: I don't know about that. I mean, the machine never had a 'cold boot' for the time I had been using it and messing with OCing the CPU. All of a sudden, when I hit a wall with these wimpy RAM, I get a cold boot. To me, logic dictates that it was the RAM causing the dead behavior... not my PSU. As the machine acts fine when I bring the ram down below 255mhz.

dng29 Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 my cold boot problem is this, and i hope this is a definition of a cold boot that some are having. whenever i turn the pc on, the bios post screen would show and then hang there. so i would see the cpu type, the size of rams and that's it. no dmpi updated or backup cmos OK whatsoever. what i end up doing is hit the reset button or completely power off and power back on. i have no try the yellow slots yet, but i don't see why the orange slots would be a problem. nealh, any updates from you bro? i hope my problem is the same as yours? .

beserkjay Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Got mine to 275 stable, cant get any more out of it (had to reduce the quality of the picture to fit as an attachment) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcar Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Finally managed to get stable setups from these things. The lowest timmings I can get are 3-4-3-7 @ 241MHz, and the highest OC is 270MHz with timmings of 3-5-5-10. All this is at a 1T command rate and 2.6V (higher voltages didn't seem to give any extra stability). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nealh Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 my cold boot issue...turn on PC..It will post top line of Bios...AWARD BLAH, BLAH and either hang or reboot.. if I get to cpu ID and ram amount..I boot and run fine My ram has blend for 4.5hrs at 2600/260 ram 2.6v 3-4-3-8-1t...I stopped it to test other settings I personally think it has to do with 704-2BTA bios and my mobo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vis Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Crap, I just realized my ram is showing as DDR 400 when booting up..even though it's running at 1:1 and is rated as ddr 500. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dab Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 DDR500 is overclocking ram. It will not reach DDR500 until you manually set the FSB to 250. What does CPu-Z show it as once you're booted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
