warplayer Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I am running the Value Select 1gb kit (2 x 512) on my MSI PT880 NEO-FSR motherboard at the default settings. I am having problems when I put the system on high load, namely graphicly instense games. When I run HL2, it either reboots the system after a minute or the game crashes. The system will hang with lots of windows open, etc. When I run the Windows Memory Diagnostic I am getting errors on the LRAND test and it fails. I had one set of this ram, thought it was faulty, and I RMA'ed it, so this is the second set of memory I have. I tried running it at 400 and 333 and no change. please help? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 13, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 13, 2005 Can you tell me the CPU speed and it’s FSB as well? In addition, please tell me the bios settings you have set for both CPU and memory and any performance settings that you may have set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warplayer Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 CPU is P4 3.2ghz FSB 800 As far as bios and performance settings, here's a bunch, i hope i have what you need to determine the problem. CPU Ratio Selection Locked CPU FSB Clcok 200mhz (says 800 on sidebar) DDR 400 (1:1) DRAM Frequency 400mhz 66.6mhz CPU Voltage Adjust +0.00v AGP Voltage Adjust Auto DDR Voltage Adjust Auto The Ram Timing is all set to auto, but the auto timings are 3-4-4-9 Internal Chache Enabled Hyper Threading Function Enabled Top Performance Disabled PCI Delay Transaction Disabled USB Legacy Support Disabled And there is a setting for Main Graphics something or other, and it was defaulted to PCI, i set it to AGP tho since I'm using AGP graphics card. Wasn't sure if that made a difference... Let me know if you need anything else. Right now I'm actually having a hard time booting into windows. It will boot the bios and ram check and whatnot, but won't go past the dark screen before the windows screen usually comes up. Oh, I'm running XP by the way.

warplayer Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 Oh, I forgot, I've tried both dual channel and single, at both 400 and 333, still having same problems. And I should also mention that I'm having the exact same problems with both sets of ram that I received, so I'm positive its settings or compatability.

gigga Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I'm having similar issues with the same configuration -- MSI PT880 Neo w/ VS1GBKIT400 package ... I feel your pain. Can't pinpoint the error as well. Any resolution anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
