Shadow of chaos Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 i just got my first BSOD with my memory, and their not running stable.. they are too picky for me so im thinking about selling them and getting something that's 100% compatible with these boards. Advice?.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robc1880 Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 I am in the same boat you are in. One of my sticks just crapped out on me. ended up ordering this OCZ DDR500 Platinum $212.40 shipped 2nd day There is also a $40 mail in rebate to bring your total cost of this RAM down to $172.40 which is a steal for this memory.

Shadow of chaos Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 I was playing cs source and my game locked up, i was only playing around 40 mins.. at the same time the sound went nuts and started crackling, is that normal for ram thats unstable?? also i dont know if i can order from that site because i may end up paying import tax, i might get the OCZ from a uk site though.. has anyone had problems with them?

sailindawg Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Check out the Mushkin Redlines pc4000 EB, they use Infineon CE-6 chips. On a 1:1, you will probably get ~260 RAM FSB stable, however, put them on a divider and <225 FSB, you can get 2.0, 2,3,5 timings ! They are about the tightest 2x1024 out there.

smolt Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 If your having problems with HZs your gonna have problems with anything you get . A todle waste of money. But its your money and PC just giving my 2 cents Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow of chaos Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Well i have no idea why im getting problems, only the ram is at 250mhz. Nothing is overclocked. i guess i can try more settings, but i hate having to fiddle around so much with these. I had run memtest for so many hours, i think it was 11.. standard test, and no errors had came up but my computer aint right because things are crashing and i had a blue screen once already. Whatever it is its not running right, be it a problem with something IN my computer, the settings.. or what i dont know. i wish there was just memory you could actually put in your pc and and it gets automatically configured to work at the speed its set at, 200-250 or whatever.. and if that doesnt work then you know for certain they are defective, instead of having to try billions of damn settings constantly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
