ttripolt Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Help Please! This is the first time that I assemble a PC for OC purpose with: P5K Premium Q6600 Kingstone 4G DDR2 1066 (KHX8500D2K2/2GN) as specified in the Asus Guide Book ATI Sapphire HD 2600xt Corsair 520W PS With the BIOS in default mode, every time the PC starts up and immediately comes this message: Overclocking faild, Press 1 for BIOS Setup, press 2 to set up default. The other problem is that when rebooting (either in Windows or Reset) the PC will not reboot unless I switch off the PS and back on. I have exchanged the MB twice, tried another PS, no success. Asus tech support says it is the Memory. I have tested each memory module by itself, i different slots, no success. Although Asus specifies this particular memory in their Guide Book, Asus said that they DO NOT test if the memory actually works... I am not familiar in setting the BIOS ADVANCED values for OC. I have spend days.... please help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exeter_acres Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Download Memtest and run it..... if I am reading your post correctly... I have tested each memory module by itself, i different slots, no success Seems that you already know that the memory is bad or that there is a mem setting off.....

Now, what mem test are you talking about? and if a mem setting is off, shouldn't the "auto" setting take care of being set "right"? Besides the voltage and the 5-5-5-15 setting specified by Kingston, (and I have tried setting these values manually without success) what other setting should/could I try to adjust. I coul use some education.... Thank you! Tomas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbrown23 Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 go to the forums link on this site and go to overclocking, and a bunch of threads should pull up there is one that says overclocking essential hardware and you'll find the link for memtest on that page.
