charlie22911 Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 okay, i thought i was stable, im not... not at all. i get sudden restarts, no BSOD, just restarts. i have tried every setting in the OCDB that has an opty 165 and TCCD... all a no-go. i think i may know the problem, but would it happen at 290x9 at stock volts (im referring to PSU, i hear its a beast)? the PSU fan doesn't put out warm air like its struggling, not even full bore with orthos, or 3dmark06... but this is still a possibility right? it doesn't happen under load, as a matter of fact, just the opposite. anyhow, im wondering if there is one setting im missing in the sea of options that will help. ive been reading and toying with this since Christmas... school starts back the 3rd and im afraid i wont have as much time. thanks for any suggestions you can give, you all have allways been helpful.

charlie22911 Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 ok, i will list the entire genie bios settings page for the sake of completeness _______________________ (genie bios settings) FSB = 300 LDT ratio = auto LDT transfer = 16/16 cpu multi = 9 (default) PCIe = 100Mhz CnQ = disabled cpu startup value 1.4v (current voltages reported by bios monitering) cpu= 1.38v ldt= 1.2v chipset= 1.62v ram= 3.04v (Genie bios setting cont.) cpu vid= 1.4v ldt= 1.2v chipset= 1.6v ram= 3v (tccd, have to have this to get into windows no matter the speed) (dram timings page) dram frequency= 166 dividor cpc= enable tcl= 2.5 trcd= 3 tras=7 trp=3 trc=12 trfc=14 trrd=3 twr=3 twtr=2 trwt=2 tref=3120 bank interleve= on dqs skew= auto skew value= 0 dram drive= auto dram data drive= auto max asinc latency= 8ns dram responce= normal read preamble= 6ns idle cycle limit= 256 dynamic counter= off r/w wueue bypass= 16x bypass max= 07x 32byte granularity= disable -------------------------- how does that look? i still cant quite grasp the purpose of each ram timing, but i have an idea of what they should possibly be set to. im out of ideas... but still very pleased with this rig . thanks for your help!

colonel.sanders Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 You are giving the ram too much voltage. I have the same ram on my second machine and 2.7V is more than enough for the 4400le's. Anything over 2.8V is gonna start giving you errors. Do this - You need to test the memory for errors before you start doing anything else. FSB = 270 LDT ratio = 3x LDT transfer = 16/16 cpu multi = 9 PCIe = 101Mhz CnQ = disabled cpu startup value 1.4v cpu= 1.35v (Set this manually in the dropdown) ldt= 1.3v chipset= 1.62v ram= 2.7v dram frequency= 200 (1:1) divider cpc= enable tcl= 2.5 trcd= 3 tras=7 trp=3 trc=9 trfc=16 trrd=3 twr=3 twtr=2 trwt=3 tref=auto bank interleave= on dqs skew= auto skew value= 0 dram drive= auto dram data drive= auto max asinc latency= auto dram responce= normal read preamble= auto idle cycle limit= auto dynamic counter= auto r/w wueue bypass= auto bypass max= auto 32byte granularity= auto Do all this and run memtest # 5 and # 8 from genie bios - at least 25 passes each and report here if you had any errors.

charlie22911 Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 going to do that now! thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie22911 Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 ok, that was a no go. test 5=14 errors, 8=0 errors i couldn't boot windows with those settings at stock or any voltage you think i killed my ram in my nF2 rig (ran at 2.9v 247 365 for a year)? if i need new ram, does this look okay? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820146970 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel.sanders Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Increase voltage to 2.8. tcl= 2.5 trcd= 4 tras=7 trp=4 Run memtest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie22911 Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 runing as i type (psp). so far 2 errors on test 5 in 7 passes... i will keep it going unless otherwise instructed . Charlie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Esau Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 You're P.S.U is going dude! Same syptoms that you are describeing is exactly what happended when my Silverstone ST60F took a dump on me. Save yourself allot of aggrivation and get another unit! Might I suggest PC-Power & Cooling 750w Silencer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie22911 Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 ok, test 5 2 errors in 25 passes. test 8 0 errors in 82 passes (fell asleep ). i updated with your settings thraxz, going to loop the whole batch while im gone. brother esau, i sure hope not, but i cant afford something as good as a psu like that! will report back soon!

Evil-Fruits|R4z Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Top-end board + OC'd Opty and you've got a 450w PSU, thats a no-go tbh. Its worked till now but, it isn't recommended and like Brother Esau says its probably dieing from the load - get a PSU from the recommended list that is suited your system. r4z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
