Terminal Vertig Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 You can call me aus for short or George if you prefer... Welcome to the next installment of our show folks. i have installed the drivers and clean format of windows. heres a point form of the problems still occurring - my pc locks up 30 seconds after booting into windows. mouse just sticks, no errors, no flashing, noises. - I am starting to wonder if its the hd, I cant think of anything else. - 1 out of every 7 or 8 boots the computer wont post, and will hang at 4red leds. a poweroff/on fixes that, and it boots. - Also my standby led is constantly on, doesnt turn itself off. - pcislot1 doesnt seem to be working, i had a xfi card in their, installed drivers nothing, moved it to pci3, and my windows found new hardware message popped up. The hd is under warranty still, so i can RMA that if need be, but before i do that i want to make sure that its the problem. here are my timings Genie BIOS Settings: FSB Bus Frequency............................. - 200 LDT/FSB Frequency Ratio....................... - AUTO CPU/FSB Frequency Ratio....................... - Auto PCI eXpress Frequency......................... - 100Mhz CPU VID StartUp Value......................... - 1.550v CPU VID Control............................... - 1.200v CPU VID Special Control....................... - Above VID * 109.6% LDT Voltage Control........................... - 1.20v Chip Set Voltage Control...................... - 1.52v DRAM Voltage Control.......................... - 2.8v DRAM Configuration Settings: DRAM Frequency Set............................ - 200=RAM/FSB:01/01 Command Per Clock (CPC)....................... - Auto CAS Latency Control (Tcl)..................... - Auto RAS# to CAS# delay (Trcd)..................... - Auto Min RAS# active time (Tras)................... - Auto Row precharge time (Trp)...................... - Auto Row Cycle time (Trc).......................... - 07 Bus Clocks Row refresh cyc time (Trfc)................... - 17 Bus Clocks Row to Row delay (Trrd)....................... - 03 Bus Clocks Write recovery time (Twr)..................... - 03 Bus Clocks Write to Read delay (Twtr).................... - 02 Bus Clocks Read to Write delay (Trwt).................... - 03 Bus Clocks Refresh Period (Tref)......................... - 3120 Cycles DRAM Bank Interleave.......................... - Enabled DQS Skew Control.............................. - Auto DQS Skew Value................................ - 0 DRAM Drive Strength........................... - Auto DRAM Data Drive Strength...................... - Auto Max Async Latency............................. - Auto DRAM Response Time............................ - Fast Read Preamble Time............................ - Auto IdleCycle Limit............................... - 256 Cycles Dynamic Counter............................... - Disable R/W Queue Bypass.............................. - 16 x Bypass Max.................................... - 07 x 32 Byte Granularity........................... - Disable(4 Bursts) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bldegle2 Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 run WD data lifeguard tools to test the HD... have you run memtest on the ramski, just to be sure??? laterzzzz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminal Vertig Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 run WD data lifeguard tools to test the HD... have you run memtest on the ramski, just to be sure??? laterzzzz kind of hard to do when windows locks up a minute after i get into it. it is 8hours memtest stable with these timings.

Sharp Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Hello, What are the rated memory timings for these modules? Remember, just because it is memtest stable doesn't mean the memory is ok. Clear your CMOS again for 10 mins. Use only 1 memory stick and place it in dimm slot 2 (orange). Remove your 8800gts, When using the XFX PCI card in PCI slot 1, did it display anything to the monitor? Using just that 1 stick + AUTO settings. Does it power up all the time? And does it ever hang in windows? If it does hang swap the memory stick for the other one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bldegle2 Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 data lifeguard tools load in DOS if on a bootable floppy or CD, so no boot to the OS is needed, much like you are able to run memtest from as bios command, in DOS. at least you can check out your drive that way, OR, take the drive out and slave it to another system, run the data lifeguard tools from that system, whatever... laterzzz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharp Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Sorry I misread that about the XFX/X-FI card. Also rated memory timings for your modules? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminal Vertig Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 well got everything up and going on one stick of ram after the cmos cleared for 10mins. installed all of my drivers, installed creative xf-i and dlink wireless. and everything is working good. install video drivers, reboot, and computer works fine, but dlink card is gone from iqrs in post, the creative software doesnt read the card, etc, the two pci devices have vanished. everything else is fine. get a popup for found new hardware, when i click cancel it pops right up, i have to click cancel 15x before it goes away. anyone have any idea?
