z0de Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 that wasnt there when i built my comp (it came with my case). its been fine for over a year now. is there anything else it might be?

Sharp Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 Memory voltage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 Make sure you have all 4 power connectors plugged into the board. Set the memory voltage to 2.8v. Set the timings to 2.5-3-3-8 All others on AUTO. What happens? Then try 1 stick at a time. What happens? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
z0de Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 All power connectors are pluged in. i set to "optium settings" (the auto option on the bios screen that first loads) a while ago. problems came and went as stated. i also ran memtest LOTS during the problems and never had a problem below ddr400. i tried one stick breafly it didnt seem to have an inpact.

Sharp Posted March 20, 2006 Posted March 20, 2006 [exp 1] * Run memtest on each stick for at least 3 hours. * Use 2.8v and 2.5-3-3-8, all other settings on AUTO. stick 1 = errors? stick 2 = errors? [exp 2] * Run memtest on both sticks in orange slots * Use 2.8v and 2.5-3-3-8, all other settings on AUTO. stick1 + stick2 = errors? [exp 3] * Run memtest on both sticks in yellow slots * Use 2.8v and 2.5-3-3-8, all other settings on AUTO. stick1 + stick2 = errors? Can you do that?
