Wired Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 What CPU / FSB / Motherboard do you have? Did you test one stick at a time in each slot using Memtest86+? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzjonjon69 Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 What CPU / FSB / Motherboard do you have? Did you test one stick at a time in each slot using Memtest86+? AMD Athlon 2800+ / 166 FSB / FIC AU13 i'll test each memory separately, shortly *BTW* the memory sticks are in slot 1 and slot 3, for dual channeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Is the memory set @ 200 Mhz or 166 Mhz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzjonjon69 Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 Is the memory set @ 200 Mhz or 166 Mhz? yes the memory is set @ 200 MHz and i tested both sticks in memtest86 and both did fine, so i decided to go from slots 1 and 3 to 1 and 2 and it seems ok so far *EDIT* NVM, it was running fine, then happened all over again :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 21, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 21, 2005 With this CPU you will want to set the memory Frequency at 100% or 1 to 1 with the CPU or it will cause a bottleneck in the chipset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 29, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 29, 2005 Yes that is correct! With that CPU you would need to run the memory at DDR333! Sorry but that is a chipset limitation, but please test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org if you still have problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
