BadBadtz Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 Can anyone explain why I get a message saying Detecting array..... and then my machine reboots when I increase the FSB past 250? Currently I'm running 250x9 with a memory divider of 9:10 and HTT multi of 3 and 104% special Vcc I want to get upto atleast 2.3Ghz but something is holding me back I've tried using the lowest memory divider but it doesnt make any difference Could this be related to my PSU? Its just a standard 550W and nothing fancy Any help is greatly appreciated. Nick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Stewart Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 Detecting Array.......messages + infinite reboots usually mean that you have pushed something past it's limit. I think either the cpu or the memory settings both can cause this message. If you see the Detecting Array......message often, something is defintely amiss.

vega27 Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 BadBadtz, this happened to me too but i'm only trying to get to 230x10. if it's not the array detection, it's an error message saying windows/system32/config/system has been corrupted and to try running the recovery console from the windows xp setup cd. going back to 220FSB, all is well. tried upping vcore, vdimm, chipvolt, lowering cpu multi, LDT multi. still some other things to try like relaxing memory timings. i'll be keeping an eye on what people suggest for this problem too.

BadBadtz Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 Memory timings is something I have yet to learn..........anyone suggest where I should start to look at? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THunDA Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 BadBadtz.. List ALL your settings in bios.. voltages.. timings.. And your ram brand and version.. Also do you have your hard drives setup in raid ? what sata channels are they on ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest culinist Posted February 1, 2005 Posted February 1, 2005 The array is usually detected so fast that normally you can't even see it flash on the screen. The problem is, the DRAM frequency is the last thing detected before the array, so if you are out of range either with timings, speed or voltage it will hang on the detect array screen, and reboot. At least this is the way I understand it from Oskars explanation, somewhere around here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBadtz Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Memory is just budget stuff...............Nanya Tech PC3200 nothing fancy Currently running 250 x 9 with HTT 3 Memory divider set to 9:10 and timings 3 3 8 3 Currently have VID = 1.5V as increasing made no difference. I've run Prime95 for 3hrs with no errors and temps are fine. But the moment I go higher I get errors Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Stewart Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 What happens when you run 225x10? Can you go higher than 225 on FSB/HTTx10 multi and boot? Are you wanting to get maximum Ghz speed or a balance of Ghz and memory bandwith? DS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THunDA Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Have you tried to run memtest ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crankydan Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Take a screen shot of "memory" in cpuz and post it. Just curious if the 9:10 divider is actually working. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vega27 Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Can anyone explain why I get a message saying Detecting array..... and then my machine reboots when I increase the FSB past 250? okay, like i said, i got this error too as i've been OCing to see how my setup can do. it started popping up on me trying to get just FSB220x10 stable. tried small increases to vcore, vdimm, chipset and decreases to HTT multi, CPU multi. i finally got it stable by changing my RAM timings from 2/2/2/10 to 2/3/2/10. then windows was hangin on it again trying get 230x10 stable. changing RAM timings again, to 2/3/3/10, fixed it a second time. i started another thread for the project. pretty much just started. now at 250FSB stable & cool. http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5019 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
