IceWing Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Dear Readers I have encountered a problem with my new bought GSKILL F1 DDR400 memory 2x512MB 2-2-2-5 running in Dual Channel at DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI-D. Can someone help me to set up the memory correctly in BIOS. Please help me with the correct D-RAM settings so it works in Dual Channel. I have tried nearly every settings but it still locks up on the Windows Loading screen. Driver IRQ11 Lesser error... Configuration is in BIOS for the memory set all to AUTO. Dram voltage is set at 2.7v. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Hello, Your 550W CoolerMaster Real power supply is a very good one. Did you plug all 4 power connectors into the board? Are you using 2 video cards or 1? Also what BIOS for the board are you using? http://www.cpuid.org/cpuz.php#download Run CPUZ and go to the mainboard TAB, post the BIOS date here. Set the memory voltage to 2.8v. Chipset voltage = MAX out LDT voltage = MAX out HTT/FSB = 200Mhz Ratio = 1:1 Command per clock...............Disable Cas latency...........................2 RAS to CAS delay..................3 Min RAS active time...............6 Row precharge time..............3 Row cycle time......................11 Row refresh cycle time..........14 Row to Row delay.................3 Write recovery time...............2 Write to read delay...............1 read to write delay...............1 Refresh period.......................AUTO Write CAS latency..................1 DRAM bank interleave.......... .Enabled DQS Skew Control.............................Decrease Skew DQS Skew Value................................0 DRAM Drive Strength..........................AUTO DRAM Data Drive Strength..................AUTO Max Async Latency.............................6ns Read Preamble Time...........................5ns Idle Cycle Limit...................................AUTO Dynamic Counter................................Enable R/W Queue Bypass.............................AUTO Bypass Max.........................................AUTO 32 Byte Granularity.............................Disable(8 Bursts) Give these a try.

IceWing Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Sharp: I have just booted up with only a single DIMM and I am very happy to see your (quick) response! I have connected my CoolerMaster 550W PSU to the three connectors on my motherboard, but the last one is a floppy connection and I use the single floppy connector from my PSU to my floppy drive.. My system works just fine with a memory module in slot 2! Will try your settings and once I'm up running, I will tell you what happened. By the way, I'm using the newest official BIOS available from DFI website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmay119 Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Icewing, the motherboard requires all four pins to be plugged into the motherboard. That is most likely why you're having stability issues. Isn't stability more important than the use of your floppy drive? Also, isn't there a 4-Pin molex to floppy pin converter that you can buy if you need your floppy drive?

IceWing Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Was not aware that the floppy connector was that important - the manual mentions NADA about it. Thanks - will try connecting it as you mention. I'll be back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceWing Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 cmay119: I can see that you use the exact same memory as I've jsut bought. Will you list your working BIOS settings without any OC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Hello, From your screenshot, you have BIOS v310 which is ok. The floppy power connector is important Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceWing Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Sharp: I followed your settings, however I''m a bit confused as regards what you mean when saying: Set the memory voltage to 2.8v. Chipset voltage = MAX out LDT voltage = MAX out HTT/FSB = 200Mhz Ratio = 1:1 Would you please explain these settings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceWing Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Still same error: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL I'm very confused.. Could anyone with my GSKILL memory please list their complete BIOS settings? What should I do? I've tried both GeIL memory DIMMs plus my brand new G.Skill.. please help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 In the BIOS, GENIE section. You will find these settings, http://www.insanetek.com/reviews/motherboa...cture%20039.jpg HTT frequency = set it to 200Mhz (it should be on this be default) DRAM/MEMORY voltage, set it to 2.8v LDT voltage = set it to the maximum value Chipset voltage = set it to the maximum value Then is the DRAM configuration section http://www.insanetek.com/reviews/motherboa...cture%20040.jpg ratio = 1:1 , I mean the DRAM frequency set.
