DerekT Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Did you try what antipacker said. Test each of the modules singly. Results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flupke Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 I downgraded my bios to the next to last version from Asus and the system was a whole lot more stable. I was able to install XP pro on it and do all updates and install all the drivers. The system still locks up randomly maybe once every 4 hours or so, and not under stress. For example just opening IE and going to a web site. Won't have much time to work on this until the week-end but any additional help is appreciated. Will try with one stick at the time.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 16, 2007 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 16, 2007 I would try and set the memory Frequency at DDR800 and see if it still locks up? Also check on hardware monitor and see what it is setting the CPU VCore to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flupke Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 The memory is set to 800 MHZ and the Vcore voltage on the cpu is 1.34V Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flupke Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 I was able to run last night for 6 hours without any freezes using one stick in slot b1(Asus recommended testing it with one stick in B1). I will try the other stick of mem tonight and see what happens. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flupke Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 I replaced the single stick with the other one and am now using the system with 1 gb installed still in B1. System seems stable with the other memory module. Will let you know status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
