Can't get ram stable @ rated speed :( at any multi

Hi I have issues trying to get the ram stable at its rated speed :sad: , the system is as is in the sig ;) ..basicaly it will run the settigns in my sig 98%percent of the time with a bsod once a day(pc is on 16 hours a day ), If I try to push ram to 275(using 9/10 Multi..I normaly run with an 11 mutli so i no cpu can take that for sure i.e 10/9) it seems fine on desktop viewing normal stuff i.e websites/email etc but as soon as I play a game I end up looking at the desktop again! I can only play games using below settings I leave all other timmings not mentioned below on default settings, I have looked round the forums for similar or identical ram and have found a few but the settings do not make any diffrence and are very diffrent :eek: :confused: so I just give up and go back to what works the majority of the time.(I have never used more than 2.9v dimm so not sure if that is why..I have seen someone else use 3.1v on identical sticks to get them stable at rated speed..im a little reluctant to try that :s I dont want to kill them.(I use rated immings when going to 275 i.e 7-4-4-2.5 and have tryed 8-4-4-2.5 all at T1, chipset is always at stock voltage..cpu I change as needed)

 

There is one thing I am not sure on and that is the psu(I read in another post that aparently a game dropping back to desktop is a sign of a week psu?im not so sure on that because i had a similar problem with last machine but that was fine once I tweeked it at a faster speed so now I dont no...I can tell you the 550watt Aerocool only powers the motherboard and the AGP card so I would assume that was ample!! everything else in the case and outside are powered by the second 450watt Aerocool psu.(I have a Seasonic 600 watta on standby as well if need be but I dont want to rip my gorgous aerocool out! lol

 

Anyway any suggestions would be most welcome..and if I need to right down every setting in bios I will :D honest I would love nothing more than to spend an entire day getting rsi eye looking at a strobing blue screen because right now I dont care if it takes me 6 months to get this stable as long as it is eventualy! then I can show my mate why AMD rulez! @ Games :D

Nothing there I have not done also the ram is diffrent..did not realise how many pages il carry on reading..I think tommorow i will bump ram to 3v and start all over again at a low multi..i no the cpu can handle 3ghz with my old ram in but have to use divider as that ram is slower!

You're lucky... My RAM, I mean, my Corsair RAM cannot do at stock 200MHz.... a lot of error and reboot..... Only Crucial RAM is working.. However, not 100% stable.... So I need RMA...

 

Try to run your system at stock speed.. And try to run your memory or CPU on other system.

I wish it was that simple I already have tryed! it wont run at stock these are the only settings that are semi stable :( on this board, also I have 3 systems and this ram is fine in my other main rig, in this rig though its Access Violation errors all the way which is a ram timming error :( i was having bsod's but have upped the vcore and that has stopped,i tweeked the timmings last night and it passed a super PI 1mb at 275 x 11 3.04ghz(its never passed before - 27 seconds :)(i built a vapo fx57 recently for someone else and they get 24 seconds @ 3.45ghz hehe) unfortunatly go into a game and it says Access Violation etc etc as normal..it does this at any multi :( it cant be the memory controller because when i run ram at 275 i get 6.6gig bandwith with a 9 multi/7.4gig at 275 x 10and just under 8gig at 275 x 11 so obveously if it is not stable at 275 x 9 even though the bandwith is lower than I normaly run at and the cpu speed is way lower than I normaly run at, then the cpu and memory controller are fine its something to do with the other timmings :(...im going to read that long butt thread posted above and hope for a miracle if I cant sort this in the next month im going to bin the lot and start again but this time with parts I no work!

 

ps. other stupid thing is i keep seeing people with huge fsb and only 2.7 ghz which means they are not actually getting there bandwith..i have noticed if you want more than 7.3/4gig bandwith you have to be at 3ghz! which is why even if my machine was stable at 275 x 9 it would be pointless because i would be loosing well over a gig a second! once I can get the ram stable at its rated speed with a low multi then I at least no the system can handle 275 then i can up with volts as I no that the cpu is very happy at 3ghz when ever im at 3ghz it is always ram problems not cpu I HATE COMPUTERS! pcs used to be so simple you build them and they worked! now every pc I have built for other people in the last year including my own have had problems(at stock speeds!) something tells me to many changes have happened in to shorter time and thats why its a lottery ticket now! most the technology we had up to 2 year ago was old and reliable now everything is a brand new tech and holy unreliable! time to go back to basics a dell dare i say it!cant even trust the likes of Asus anymore the industry is becoming a mess.
