Plus Ntune wont install. :mad: please helpppp

Im running prime now and i did run Memtest and prime before i installed xp when i first built the system. My drivers for chipset are 6.86 i hope they are the right ones for my board http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_nf4_win2k_6.86.html and im using omega gfx drivers latest ones.

Ermm just ran memtest and with 8 seconds it got 152 errors . I ran memtest when i got the ram and it was fine ran memtest for 12 hours when i first got it. I havent changed any ram stuff in the bios so what shall i do ?

RMA the ram.

Hi,

Are there not some settings i need to change in bios for the timings ?. Im not the best person for all this overclolcking stuff so i dont know how to do it.

Well for starts have you Overclocked the CPU?

 

What are the current timings that the RAM is running at and the clock speed (Mhz)

 

r4z

[Djmayhem]

I havent overclocked any thing the ram is running at what ever the board set it to as i didnt change none of the timings or anything to do with ram or cpu in the bios only boot settings. Im shure there must be settings to get this working as i would of thought about 30% of people with DFI NF4 boards are running this G.Skill ram.

Default timings for your RAM that should work upto and inc. 250Mhz, set them in the Genie BIOS under DRAM Configuration

[tasr]

Clear CMOS load defaults. Reboot then;

 

go into the Genie BIOS lower your; CPU/FSB Frequency Ratio - 7 or 8.

 

Raise your; FSB Bus Frequency – 250

 

DRAM Frequency Set – 200=RAM/FSB:01/01

 

Enabling MemTest86+ in the BIOS and run test #5 and #8 for 10-20 passes. Then all test for 20 passes or so.

Well its doing the same thing on test 5 i have 437 errors so far. So im thinking it might not be a setting. But any idea why the ram has gone like this it has been used for about 2 months. Could it be my board or the actual ram ?

 

BTW Could i run some very cheap ram while my other ram is RMA i have to RMA the ram. As i have quite a bit of stuff for my clan to do. The sticks are pc2100 i think and are ddr333 im guessing. They are value cheap ram

To clarify, have you done what Tasr said with the settings that I posted and its still finding these errors?

I Have the same problem, Brand new bulid and the first with DFI board. My crash/reboot can happen in game or just at the desktop. Sometimes the BSOD, Othertimes just a reboot.

 

I an a experanced Bulider, but the options on this board is overwelming for even a hobby bulider like myself. I seen some posts and read for a few hours here on this great support sight, But I can't find a Suggested starting point for my hardware. (It even Crashed during the OS Install)

 

I need a STABLE Box first, Before i can even step into the OC possablitys of this MB.

 

Is the current / Latest Bios best, Or the one that shiped with my MB Best for a stable starting point.

 

The MB Manual Shows all 3 power Power connections on the MB, But Untill i get a Adapter, I can not connect the Floppy power input by the PCI_E Slot. But the Manuel says it's not needed unless your running SLI. ( I am Not)

 

Edit: I have fixed the power connector problem, I will test to see if it's fixed....
