Guest FZ1 Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Here's a new one on me... Yanked my CPU out (in sig) to test the new 170 I got. Finished and put the old one back in. Did a complete CMOS clear and turned her on. Entered all of my settings (below) that I had been using before that I knew to be stable (did not use CMOS reloaded). Will not load windows - gets to the "DMI" screen but never actually says it and hangs. FSB - 317 LDT - x3 CPU/FSB Ratio - x9 Vcore - 1.450 x 110% LDTv - 1.30 CHPv - 1.6 vDIMM - 2.6 DRAM Frequency Set - 166 (DRAM/FSB:5/06) Command Per Clock (CPC) - Enable CAS Latency Control (Tcl) - 3.0 RAS# to CAS# delay (Trcd) - 04 Bus Clocks Min RAS# active time (Tras) - 08 Bus Clocks Row precharge time (Trp) - 04 Bus Clocks Row Cycle time (Trc) - 07 Bus Clocks Row refresh cyc time (Trfc) - 14 Bus Clocks Row to Row delay (Trrd) - 03 Bus Clocks Write recovery time (Twr) - 02 Bus Clocks Write to Read delay (Twtr) - 02 Bus Clocks Read to Write delay (Trwt) - 03 Bus Clocks Refresh Period (Tref) - 3120 Cycles Write CAS Latency (Twcl) - 01 DRAM Bank Interleave - Enabled DQS Skew Control - Auto DQS Skew Value - 0 DRAM Drive Strength - Level 7 DRAM Data Drive Strength - Level 3 Max Async Latency - 8.0ns DRAM Response Time - Normal Read Preamble Time - 5.0ns IdleCycle Limit - 256 Cycles Dynamic Counter - Disable R/W Queue Bypass - 16 x Bypass Max - 07 x 32 Byte Granularity - Disable(8 Bursts) So, I try 10 x 285 with the rest of the settings the same and it boots to windows, no problems. Now I'm confused. > why can't I boot to windows @ 2853 (9x317) but can boot at 2850 (2850) when I was already stable at the 2853 for weeks? > I changed absolutely no hardware except when I swapped CPU's > My temps are great I even tried using a bigger divider but it had no effect. Any ideas? It's killing me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunk Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 im having probs with the 9x multiplier and finding a suitable divider. pulling my hair out. at least youre not alone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageI Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Might want to reset your configuation data in BIOS. Get into BIOS Find PNP/PCI Config. ENABLE reset configuration data Save and reboot into Windows. Re boot and repeat the steps above but make sure you DISABLE reset config. data. Then put in you old values and see if it works. Worth a try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stone_cold_Jimi Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Known issue when swapping between single and dual core processors. Go to My Computer, right click > Manage > Device manager > computer and see if it says ACPI Uniprocessor or ACPI Multiprocessor. You may need a Windows reinstall if it's the wrong one.

They were both 170s I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FZ1 Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 They were both 170s I think. Correct sir! Just to be clear about the problem - I can still boot to Windows stable at 2850. However only at 10 x 285, not at 9 x 317 where I had it set for weeks. So in effect, I lost the 9x multi. Not a huge deal I guess but it makes me wonder what is wrong...the board or the chip.

THunDA Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Try to reflash the bios and give it a nice cmos clear with the battery out.. Sometimes when I was pushing my x2 3800 too much I'd try to revert back to my old settings that I knew were 100% stable and they didnt work.. Reflashing cleared this up for me everytime.. Another thing you can try is to work your way back up into your max overclock.. This has helped me at times.. One more thing to think about.. If you took out your ram sticks with the cpu changes maybe you didnt put the sticks back in the exact slots they were in.. Try to swap them in the slots they are in..

Guest FZ1 Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Thanks, Bro. I never removed the RAM sticks but thought of swapping them anyway. I'll try your suggestion this eve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ooztuncer Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 was it battery out trick (thought the exact thing) or swapping rams or new flash? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FZ1 Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 No, I had already cleared CMOS and took battery out etc. It was reflashing the BIOS. Something must have gotten corrupted. Now I'm wondering if I should throw that new chip in again to see if my results were screwed up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
