bmorgan98 Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 Hi, I have Corsair 3500LL Pro, and 2 WD 250gb Sata II HD's in raid 0 on the ULI controller, I get the lock ups once an hour for about 5 seconds. SO I doubt it's the ram, there is definatley some kind of timing issue. It's kinda similar to the Asus A8r32-mvp lockups in games with the original bios, only those would hapeen every 10 seconds or so. My guess is that further bios refinement is needed. Raja Hi raja, U didnt mention this on ocuk, but thats not important, this has been bugging me for a while now, ocz tony referred to it as being a drive strength issue on another forum.

raju Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 TBH, I did not really consider it too serious for myself, if the system locked up completley that would be another matter. Now that there is some attention to the issue, I thought I'd concur that I also have the glitch. I think I get more concerned over the things that render the system useless, although it's a little annoying, I've learned to live with a few hiccups. I sent an email to DFI with this thread linked, so they can look at how many people are experiencing the issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athildja-Px64 Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 So much for overclocking with this board? I tried turning the FSB Bus Frequency to 217 (which Corsair recommends for my memory) and I get repeated crashing in games. This same setting was perfectly stable with my Asus A8R32 MVP for 3GHz out of my 2.8GHz FX-57. Any ideas? What RAM timings are you using? What other settings are you using? LDT NMOS PMOS HT Drive STR? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djt Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 raju, Yes the vcore is at a default setting. I did not have turn the vcore up to overclock with the Asus board but I just remembered that the Asus board had higher than normal vcore by default. I will change this and give it a try.

djt Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 Athildja-Px64, “What RAM timings are you using? What other settings are you using?” My DRAM Configuration is set up as follows- DRAM Frequency Set : 200=RAM/FSB :01/01 Command Per Clock (CPC) : Disable CAS Latency Control (TCL): 2.0 RAS# to CAS# delay (Trcd): 03 Bus Clocks Min RAS# active time (Tras): 06 Bus Clocks Row precharge Time (Trp): 03 Bus Clocks The rest of the settings are at default. DRAM Voltage control is set at 2.76. My PCIE settings are as exactly as you suggested in another thread. I’m looking through eva2000’s AMD64 Overclocking Guide right now.

raju Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 Hi djt, yes the Asus board default vcore fluctuated between 1.35-1.4v, so I'd go for 1.4v at stock. Hopefully doing this and setting the necessary ram timings manually should clear up the problem. Raja Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend setting your Tref to 3120 or 4196 Also set your MAL to 7 or 8 and you PR to 5.5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djt Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 “I would recommend setting your Tref to 3120 or 4196 Also set your MAL to 7 or 8 and you PR to 5.5” Should I leave everything else at default (Auto)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spajdr Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 is it only me, or you cant disable IEE1934 (Firewire) in BIOS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got exactly same problem ... practically every 60 minutes i got this problem with sound, but i didnt reinstalled windows (got Asus xpress 3200 mobo previously) so today i reinstalled windows and so far, its without any sound repeating problem.

eNforcer Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 Yeah it happens very occasionaly for me. But I can't use SpeedFan with my logtiech G15 LCD because the 'sound skipping' becomes more frequent as it's scanning my hardware more often.
