Sharp Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Hello, Is the PC ok, memtest stable? Correct settings, memory voltage on 2.8v? You have installed XP service pack 2? # When installing the nvidia chipset drivers do not install the Nvidia firewall or IDE SW drivers. Have you been using the lastest nvidia drivers? http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_84.21.html SP2 has something called DEP, what happens if you disable it? - Right mouse on my computer >Properties - Advanced TAB - Startup and recovery settings >Settings - EDIT Look at the last line .../noexecute=optin... - change the word optin to alwaysoff .../noexecute=alwaysoff... - Then save the file >OK, and restart the PC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dejv Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Is the PC ok, memtest stable? tbh, didnt tried it. Correct settings, memory voltage on 2.8v? i m not sure if its the voltage but its 2.5 .. see screenshot You have installed XP service pack 2? # When installing the nvidia chipset drivers do not install the Nvidia firewall or IDE SW drivers. just deleted the ide .. which are the sw ? click here for screenshot Have you been using the lastest nvidia drivers? http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_84.21.html i tried using the latest + the 8.4.4.3 beta and now im with the 8.1.9.8 SP2 has something called DEP, what happens if you disable it? - Right mouse on my computer >Properties - Advanced TAB - Startup and recovery settings >Settings - EDIT Look at the last line .../noexecute=optin... - change the word optin to alwaysoff .../noexecute=alwaysoff... - Then save the file >OK, and restart the PC there was 2 to edit . right ? gonna try the changes ( edited this file and deleting the ide).. then i ll change voltage + run memtest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dejv Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 after 30mins playing it restarted again regarding the memory test is there a program that can mem test in windows ? not from bios ? and whats the option name in bios to change voltage of ram ?

Sharp Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 You need the run memtest and sort out the memory settings. Make sure that all 4 power connectors are plugged into the board # 24pin ATX connector. # 4pin +12v P4 connector, near the ATX connector. # Floppy power connector, under the CPU socket. # Hard drive power connector, on top the chipset fan. Insert the memory into the Orange slots Power your PC and enter the BIOS # Change the following, GENIE BIOS Setting >DRAM Configuration..................Press Enter = New Menu FSB BUS Frequency....................200 LDT/FSB Frequency Ratio..............X 5.0 LDT BUS Transfer Width...............16 16 CPU/FSB Frequency Ratio..............AUTO PCI eXpress Frequency................100Mhz K8 Cool 'n' Quiet Support............Disable Cool 'n' Quiet MAX FID...............AUTO CPU VID StartUp Value................StartUp CPU VID Control......................AUTO CPU VID Special Control..............AUTO LDT Voltage Control..................1.20 V Chip Set Voltage Control.............1.50 V DRAM Voltage Control.................2.70 V +0.3v if not 3.2v....................Enabled should make mem voltage 2.79v Run MemTest86+.......................Enabled, disable later GENIE BIOS Setting >DRAM Configuration DRAM Frequency Set (MHZ).............200 (DRAM/FSB:1/01) Command per clock (CPC)..............Enabled Cas latency (tCL)....................2 RAS to CAS delay (tRCD)..............2 Min RAS active time (tRAS)...........6 Row precharge time (tRP).............2 Row cycle time (tRC).................11 Row refresh cycle time(tRFC).........14 Row to Row delay (tRRD)..............2 Write recovery time (tWR)............2 Write to read delay (tWTR)...........1 Read to write delay (tRWT)...........1 Refresh period (tREF)................AUTO Write CAS latency (tWCL).............1 DRAM Bank Interleave.................Enabled DQS Skew Control.....................AUTO DQS Skew Value.......................0 DRAM Drive Strength..................Level 8 DRAM Data Drive Strength.............Level 3 Max Async Latency....................6ns Dram Response........................AUTO/Normal Read Preamble Time...................5ns Idle Cycle Limit.....................AUTO Dynamic Counter......................AUTO R/W Queue Bypass.....................AUTO Bypass Max...........................AUTO 32 Byte Granularity..................AUTO Now if memtest runs for 3hrs without any errors the memory is ok. Before you change anything run memtest and see what happens. There are some windows based memtest programs but the best one to use is the DOS version. All you need to do is enable the setting/disable it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
