threats Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 system specs: a64 3200+ dfi nf4 ultra-d x800 xl 120 sata 450 ocz modstream psu windows home ed w/ sp2 at first i had a very unstable system random reboots , bsod , stuff like that. started to do some trouble shooting and im at the point that i think my memeory is bad. when i first installed the os i had all sort of issues random reboots then windows comming up saying "windows has revored from a serious issue". well i thinking this i would solve my problem i updated my bios to 3/10(latest) and rebooted. the new dfi ultra-d bios have memtest right in the bios , so right when i booted up it ran memtest86+. the first like 26 mins i got 16 errors so i figured ok ill do some tweaking in bios. i read around forums and read something about upping the voltage on memory , so i did (2.7 , it was 2.6 before). when i booted up with this setting my computer felt more stable , but it isnta complety stable. i ran memtest86+ again and let that run for like 4 pases i didnt get any errors , so i figured im good? or what? then after that i boot up again thinking i guess im good. so play some games , most of my games run fine , but after like 10 mins on each game it crashes and sometimes its stable and i can play for a while. its very random sometimes my games play fine and sometimes my games just crash after like 6 mins of playing. also sometimes my games crash along with my computer crashing. so im stumped , help!! im going to run memtest out of the bios again and see what i get.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 12, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 12, 2005 I would try and set the Dim Voltage to 2.8 Volts and see what happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threats Posted April 13, 2005 Author Share Posted April 13, 2005 ok , but will this void my warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted April 13, 2005 Share Posted April 13, 2005 ... Tech Support normally doesn't tell you to do something that would void their warranty ... :) No worries, they're warrantied up to, but not over, 2.9 volts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark099 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Do you have other memory to try? I realize you have a pretty decent unit already, but DFI recoomends a minimum 480W power supply with that board. Also, are you using all the power connectors on the board?
