Mindflux Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 my ram auto'd to 3 3 7 3 after I OCed my system a little (which I thought was strange since it's labeled to run at and auto'd to 3 3 8 3 at stock speeds) I figured I'd try tightening the timings a little so I started with 2 3 7 3, put memcheck on and rebooted and now I get 1 LED... 1 LED is bios isn't it? Why would my bios fail to run after tweaking RAM? I guess I should reset the cmos and try again and if same thing happens again, reset and just leave the timings alone...?

tasr Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 4 LEDs on = Power applied, checking CPU 3 LEDs on = CPU has been detected OK, checking RAM 2 LEDs on = RAM has been detected OK, checking VGA 1 LED on = VGA has been detected OK, entering BIOS 0 LEDs on = System has booted to the Operating System Did you clear the CMOS like this; Proper way to clear the CMOS from a "No Boot" condition ?

Guest BFG Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Yea, just do a normal cmos clear, I don't think you really need a 24 hour clear at this stage in the game. But yea jumping from a CAS of 3 to 2 is kinda extreme. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindflux Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 did a quick reset (just cut power, left for 5m, switched jumper for 10m, switched back and turned on) now I'm in the bios again...I guess my ram didn't like 2 cas delay? edit: reset all my settings pre-no boot and it seems fine now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindflux Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Think I should try 2.5 cas or just leave it alone? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 Hello, What memory do you have? Corsair XMS or Value select? Any idea on the chips? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindflux Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 It's XMS, cpu-z lists it as CMX1024-3200 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
