A7N8X Deluxe & 1GB TwinX Matched Corsair PC3200 = Major Pain!

[kud0s]

Hi,

 

Heres my system:

 

Asus A7N8X-Deluxe Bios version 1008

Athlon 2500+ (not overclocked)

ATI 9800 Pro Video Card

2x512MB Matched Corsair XMS PC3200 Memory (Part number TWINX1024-3200C2PT)

 

I upgraded my memory from a single stick of 512mb OCZ PC3200 memory to another stick of 512 OCZ pc3200 in hopes of making my games run better. I came up with windows errors and figured it was a compatabilty issue. So I went back to the store and purchased a matching pair in hopes of getting my computer to run Everquest2 faster. I chose corsair twinX set. Only to get the ram home and installed it and I get the exact same errors I was getting with the OCZ.

 

When I changed the memory, i get big time windows errors. Almost nothing will open and comes back with not valid windows files, or system resources errors.

 

I have been reading on the forums about similar issues, and I have tried the fixes that are mentioned, but they dont seem to work for me!

 

I manually set my memory to:

CL2 3 3 7 - no go (tried 2.6v, and 2.7v)

CL2.5 3 3 7 - no go (also 2.6v and 2.7v)

memory speed is at 100 percent.

 

 

At this point I am rather stressed, because I spent alot of money on this ram and not having it work properly is killing me! There has to be something with my setup and hopefully someone here can help me!

 

Thanks alot!

Im beggin here! :eek:

Run your memory @ 333 Mhz, see if that fixes it.

So it is safe to run the memory at 200%?

 

Got it working with CL2 3 3 6 timings :) Im happy!

No will not run at 200 % that would be DDR600. The memory Frequency should be set to 100%.
