This is what i can't understand. When i stress my system it doesnt usually fall over but when i do something not very system intensive like surf the web, open some documents, even watch an avi, this system freezes on almost any task from what could be from an 1 minute to about 8 hours of usage. Anytime inbetween this time frame. So basicly ive had it, ive never had so many problems before. This board is going back. Could anyone recommend me another board? one which obviously is proven in terms of stability? |

Before we leave this thread, read through the whole thread. I'm sure you'll notice DerekT stating us it's a chipset limitation more than anything. Another board may not solve anything for you if it's got the same chipset. Apparently, four sticks of memory on this chipset is a no go without some tweaking. This may even be an issue on other chipsets as well... I'll monitor the thread you had on the Asus board OK? I'll post my advice for you there: http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?...Language=en-us |

I'm willing to help all I can regardless of the DRAM manufacturer. As long as you do not post manufacturers it doesn't matter. Keep in mind that the testing and packaging and programming of chips is the realm of the companies but often not the actual IC maker. So, Micron chips and their designation can be used at any time. D9GMH for example, or D9GCT, etc.
I have found it far easier to just remove the issue of 4 X 1024 and move to 2 X 2048 and doubly so with the dramatic drop in DRAM prices. I would try the drop as you have KingRoLo. Drop to 889, increase your MCH Voltage +0.5 volts. If you have Messenger, I can very likely help you test and see if this is a viable solution or if an FSB <--> MCH upclock will work. |

Couple of things here:
Aside from what motherboard manufacturers state or don't state about how many sticks / slots / speed they will run at, don't forget to check how the memory manufacturers test and guarantee. Memtest86+ is the only one you should be running, as the older ones aren't updated for the newer memory controllers. As for blocking out the names of other memory manufactuers, pretty much what Ram Guy said. It's cross hardware posts like this that make me think about bringing back the houseofmobos.com though :)

The reason I chose 4Gb is because i use my PC for work as i am a freelance designer and use memory and CPU intensive programs like Studio Max and After effects in tandem as well as video editing work. and because of this I absolutely must have a 100% stable PC. If you are 100% sure its a 4Gb specific problem then i can live without the other two but i am very annoyied and don't know when i can actually use all 4 DIMMS again. By the time i decide to upgrade my system again i suspect 1066 DDR2 would be old hat and i will have to start all over again anyway, which makes me wonder why i bought 4Gb in the first place. As of now it appears that it was a total waste of money. And 2ndly i bought that other makers 8500 RAM specifically because its rated to go much higher than 1066 and so i bought this configuration with the intention of overclocking from 2.4 to at least 2.8 and beyond. |

PM sent. We'll see what we can do. Certainly stability is primary.

Why did it get closed in the first place?

There was no traffic as I remember and we all had other duties so we merged it with another site.

I had followed the recommendations of another site to narrow down the problem by swapping out sticks. Each stick works perfectly alone, and in pairs. Memtest86+ only gives errors when all 4 are inserted (and stock auto MOBO settings). I thought maybe mixing sticks from different "runs" could be a problem, so I paired them up by serial number so that banks were filled with matched pairs (if there is such a thing). Still breaks with 4 inserted. So, I tested each pair in a different bank (A1B1 then A2B2). With 2, no problem; with 4, I get errors. BUT, here the errors definitely changed in nature. When swapping pairs between banks, the errors seem to show up earlier (lower memory and during test#3). The other way, errors show up above 2G and in Test #4 or later. Taking the advice of others in the forum, I have set my 800 memory speed to 667 and what was failing quickly before is now running fine. But, should I consider sending in the low bank (A1B1) of sticks under warranty given the results of my swapping sticks between banks? Last edited by lester; 10-18-2007 at 07:37 AM. |

Here's a follow-up. I just checked ASUS QVL list for the P5K Mobo. It says that they've verified CM2X1024-6400C4 with both banks filled. My sticks say CM2X1024-6400. What does the C4 mean and should that matter?
