bkskaggs Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Was running "other" ram, installed new corsair ram (dual channel 256mbX2). Part # CMX256A-2700C2. It will not boot up windows corectly. I ran memtest on both sticks and each stick at once in the dual slot, no errors. It will also not boot up correctly with the "old" ram now. These problems only happen in dual mode, it works perfect in single channel. I have tried to increase the volts to 2.7 and up. my timings are 7,3,3,2.5. I have also changed these setting around and tried to boot...no luck. My specs are as follows: AMD ath 2.8 Abit nf7-s2 2X XMS 256 2700 ram timing 100% 7,3,3,2.5 volts=2.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 11, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 11, 2004 If the modules will pass [url]www.memtest.org[/url] one up or with both in single channel but not post or run properly in dual channel that would suggest a problem with the chipset or CPU! I would test the memory on another system if you can to be sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkskaggs Posted August 11, 2004 Author Share Posted August 11, 2004 thanks for the help but i found the problem. don't know why this works but if i set the divider to 120% which gives me 200mhz (400fsb) it works fine. do not understand but i won't question to what works.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 11, 2004 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 11, 2004 That does not make any sense, but if it works I would not mess with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
