johnnymobo Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Hi, I have: Sparkle 350W power supply from other computer 1.5 years old Asus A7V8X-X AMD Barton 2500 XP FSB set to 166/33 for the 333 1024 RAM 2x512 333 corsair valueselect 7-3-3-2.5 (stock settings I know little about o'Clocking, nor do try to do it) 40GB Maxtor 7200 120GB Maxtor 7200 CDRW DVD-RW two larger fans in the antec lanboy case When I use one stick of the 512, all is "usually" well. If I use both sticks, the system hangs or just doesn't boot. THe memory is set to 7-3-3-2.5. Is that correct or should I adjust it to something else. I don't want to RMA the memory, but it is looking more like it. Please help. Thank you. When I went to the website, all I could find for the settins were n/a for VS512MB333.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 14, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 14, 2005 Please make sure that you have the latest BIOS for your MB and load Setup/Optimized default settings, and try the following BIOS settings; VS1GBKIT333 or VS512MB333 CPU Freq: 166 MHz (333 FSB) System Performance: User Define Memory Frequency: 100% Resulting Frequency: 166 MHz (333 FSB) Memory Timing: User Define SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.5T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 8T DDR Reference Voltage: 2.7 Volts AGP Voltage: Default *unless you have ATI (9200 or 9600) or NVIDIA (5200 or 5700) then 1.6 Volts suggested!* All other settings are motherboards defaults Then please test them one at a time with http://www.memtest.org and let’s make sure it's not some other issue! I would run the test for at least 2-3 passes to be sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
