ARCHIGAMER Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 I just built a friend of mine a new computer. However I am having a hell of a time with it since it randomly reboots (from system errors (BSOD)) I am really not sure what the problem is. I am really suprised that I am having this problem since i have 4 (built them myself) computers running XP and have never had any problems like this. specs ------------------------ 400watt antec power supply 1 dvd rom drive 1 CD Burner Drive 1 Floppy Drive 2 Hard drives (one 6gb and one 40 gb) Motherboard: Asus A7N8X-X Processor: AMD Athlon XP 3200 (400fsb) Video Card: Geforce 4 MX 420 (He cant afford a new one) OS: Windows XP Home Memory: 1 Corsair 512mb (400mhz) (VS512MB400C3) I came here to find that some people are having similar problems with the memory (VS512MB400C3) I went to the thread below, however i am sorry to say that the settings in the bios are correct according to that post. [url]http://www.houseofhelp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26031&highlight=A7N8X-X[/url] things I have done to try to remedy the problem Installed latest nForce Drivers Installed latest Nvidia Display Drivers ran chkdsk defragmented drives ran antivirus scan ran memtest 86 (100% Passed) no bad reports in device manager none of them have made any progress One thing i noticed is that sometimes it is recommended to have 2.7v on the memory, however my bios is set for 2.6 volts. should i change it to 2.7v for this memory? Any Advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 6, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 6, 2004 I am sorry but this MB does not provide all of the options in the bios and may not run stable with these types of modules! I would suggest you use, if you have a 333FSB CPU our CM64SD512-2700 or if you have a 400FSB CPU our CM64SD512-3200! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
