c_candfield Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Hi, Installed new system and all works well except whenever I do a memory test on a benchmark prog eg PCMARK 04 the system freezes with no error message. I have used memtest and I get the same freeze - on test number 8. I have the cards in slots 1 and 3 - moving them around doesnt help at all. Bios is version 1002 and settings are default. Please help!! Thanks, Chris AMD Athlon 64 3500 ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe XFX Geforce 6600 256mb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadzy Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 i'm having the same problems. My card freezes. I even sent one back to XFX and got a new one and this one locks up. My specs are close to yours.. DFI Lanparty NF3 250Gb AMD 64 3400+ Corsair TWINX1024-3200XLPRO Enermax Whipser 465 Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 Ultra I'm totally stumped...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 30, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 30, 2004 roadzy No I am sorry that is not the same MB or CPU, just the same symtom. Please start your own thread and list your complete system specs and the bios settings you have set for both CPU and memory! c_candfield When the system locks does it give you a BSOD message? If not and the system hard locks I would look for some other hardware issue expecially if the modules pass http://www.memtest.org one up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_candfield Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 When the system locks does it give you a BSOD message? If not and the system hard locks I would look for some other hardware issue expecially if the modules pass http://www.memtest.org one up! Well i don't know what a BSOD message is but I can say that there is no error message at all. On Memtest it just freezes on test 8 and on PCMARK 04 memory test it resets the system very soon after starting the test. On 3d Mark 05 I get only around 1800 points when i do the standard freeware test which I find really very low - i dont know if that is any help as to what is happening. I'm thinking that the 380W tagan PSU could be a problem, however I am only using 1 gfx card, 1 HDD, 1 FDD, 1 DVDRW drive, CPU, 1 USB Modem and a couple of fans - it seems a little bit odd. Is it possible that the ram just isnt compatible with the mobo? Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 30, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 30, 2004 I really doubt that, as ASUS used these modules when they worked on this MB. I would suspect some other issue, and I would not suggest running more than the standard tests in http://www.memtest.org. In addition you can get a utility to see how much power supply you need from this post at Asusforums.org under the Power Supply section. BSOD = Blue Screen of Death!

c_candfield Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 When the system locks does it give you a BSOD message? Ok I changed around the Corsair sticks with 512MB of MDT DDRAM and I still got the freezes when doing the memory tests. I have received one BSOD message and thought it might be useful to know - it said IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL . I couldnt make much use of the power rater RAM GUY suggested as on CPU type it didnt have my 3500MHz winchester athlon 64 - am I just being stupid??!

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 3, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 3, 2005 That would suggest some other problem if you are getting the same type of issue with other memory. You might check with the MB maker and see what they have to suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
