FuManChuu Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Hello. I've built a computer thats running in tiptop shape... before i start to play any games :P I get the memory cannot be read error that everyone talks about in terms of Half Life 2. And yes, while it happens is HL2/Source, unlike the valve hate kiddies, i believe I am the problem, and not the program. I get the same error in C&C Generals, Gunbound, and Source.... Ive been reading on this for weeks, and it seems the best solutions are in ram timings/bios settings and such. My system specs are as follows Athlon FX-53 939 Asus A8V Deluxe WiFi edition 2x512 Corsair TWINX3200XL Soundblaster Audigy 2 plat EVGA 6800GT ... if i need to include anything else, let me know. I would love to pretend like i knew what to set as my settings... but i need help. As of now, the CPU overclocking is on auto, as is with ram clocking (i installed the 1009 newest bios for my mobo and thats the default. I can turn it on manual and set 50000 different settings that i don't know what they mean... Save me RAM guy o_o! Do i need to post all the options i have, or do you know what all i should change, and if so, is there an easy way to list all of my bios options, or should i write them down and type em up? Also... is "RAM Guy" really one guy O_o? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have problems, I would set Enable 2T Timings to AUTO and test it again! Also... is "RAM Guy" really one guy O_o? If I tell you I have to kill you! LOL sorry!
