Kamasabi Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 hey ya'll, I just got a brand new motherboard and video card and whatnot, and I'm having some issues with it...... My current rig: AMD 3500+ 939 socket newcastle Asus A8N-SLI motherboard Corsair TWINX2048-3200PRO Western Digital 160gb IDE hard drive XFX 7800GTX 500 Aspire PSU What'll happen is it'll get to the post screen and everything just fine, but when it gets ready to start windows is when it freaks out. It'll either give me a quick blue screen of death or just completely restart at this point. I tried reformatting in case something screwed up in the process, and still no go. I called up Asus and asked them, and they said that there is a 90% chance that it is the memory. :-/ The only reason I would agree with this is because I had a similar problem on my old motherboard, an abit av8. The only way I got it working on there was setting the speeds down to ddr333, which I wasnt too fond of. I tried doing that on this one and it still doesnt work. Does anyone have any suggestions? :) Thanks Kama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 6, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 6, 2005 What slots do you have the modules in? And did you get tru the install of the O.S. with out problems? And if so when did you start to get this error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamasabi Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 well......another update....its times like these that I think God hates me. I got up this morning and figured since it didnt fail memtest, I would try installing windows, and everything started working -_-. but as for what was happening, they are in slots 3 and 4. It would happen b4 and after I reinstalled a fresh copy of windows. I have no idea what is up.......I think my computer is haunted :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 7, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 7, 2005 If you have random problems like that I would try another PSU as that would be the most likely cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
