shumushu Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Hello this is my system setup FX53 X800 Pro Corsiar XMS 512 2-2-2-5 XLPT 2x, not the Twinx both revision numer 1.2 ASUS A8V I have latest BIOS. I can run either sticks at 2-2-2-5 fine memtest 3x with no errors. However when i put in either 2-4 or 1-3 slots with BOTH rams. I get errors at 2-2-2-5. I havn't been able to fix it for about 1 month now. So I stayed at 2-3-3-5 and mem test gives me no errors for that. I didn't care much about the timing. However, recently I reseted the CMOS (at least that is what i think i did) and when I revert all the settings, my computer is unstable. It freezes randomly in programs such as Warcraft III, MSWord 2000 and 2003, World of Warcraft, 3D mark 03 and 05. I cannot move mouse or anything, I have to hard boot. Is it my motherboard ? CPU ? ram ? I cannot do my homework because MSword freezs about every 1min, and I have to restart my computer =\ 400mhz DDR 2T enabled, Bank interleaving auto node interleaving auto 4 banks 2.8V all the time. 2-3-3-6 is my current setting, it still freezes everything else is default. Computer nor CPU is overclocked. 520W Aspire powersupply, 30,32,35Amps on the 3.3,5,12 volt rails. Using Watercool from Zalman, I don't think cooling is a problem.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted February 25, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted February 25, 2005 That would suggest the memory controller just does not like to run with aggressive settings when in dual channel. Also what Bios version do you have? The latest is 1.005 Beta 3 have you tried this version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shumushu Posted February 26, 2005 Author Share Posted February 26, 2005 i mean, before I could run both memories at 2-3-3-5 with no problem, it is recently that freezse randomly in high intensive games I'll try the new bios and get back to u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shumushu Posted February 28, 2005 Author Share Posted February 28, 2005 Hello, I updated my BIOS, run each sticks individually at 2-2-2-5. One stick gives me about 20 errors per run. I think that one is faulty. If i put both in, It gives me more errors. One stick runs 6x with 200 errors other with 7x no errors Both with same settings with memtest I used DDR400 Voltage 2.8 Node interleaving disabled Bank interleaving auto 4banks 2-2-2-5, everything else is auto I think the ram is faulty. I don't know why it didn't show last time, maybe i tested it at 2-3-3-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
