Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 2, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 2, 2005 Can you 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...
lorddaeth Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 Can you tell me the bios settings you have set for both CPU and memory and any performance settings that you may have set? from default, i've changed the CPU FSB from 166 down to 133 and 100, and i get the same results. I turned off the "full screen logo show". and i've set the voltage as per the AMD guide (http://139.95.253.214/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=38,E=0000000000168631595,K=7412,Sxi=6,Case=obj(1224)) for the CPU Ratio and the CPU Vcore Select that i mentioned above, (12.5, 1.65). The rest of the bios settings are default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 2, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 2, 2005 Then you may be trying to run the memory at DDR400 and with this CPU you would need to run the memory frequency at 100% or at DDR333. Please load setup/Optimized defaults and try these settings and test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org and if they all pass then try them all together. Also you might install them in slots 2-3 as well. CPU Freq: 166 MHz Memory Frequency: 100% Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts Resulting Frequency: 166MHz SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.5T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
