Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted April 19, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 19, 2005 Well first thing, you really should be using a 400 Watt PSU with that system configuration. In addition, please try these settings: With the A7N8X-E please set the FSB jumper to pins 2-3 with the modules in slots 2-3 and then reset or clear the bios and load setup defaults and set the Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts and set the timings manually. Then please test the system with http://www.memtest.org. CPU Freq: 200 MHz Memory Frequency: 100% Dim Voltage to 2.7 Volts Resulting Frequency: 200 MHz SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.5T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6T I have had 4 of these exact MB's and this is what had to be done to solve problems with aggressive memory, no matters who's I tested. In addition, a few other's had some success disabling Spread Spectrum in the bios as well. I would take a look at http://www.asusforums.org as well in the AMD section.

Tried the settings you said and no erros with memtest but had no erros when running at on aggressive mode with the memtest either so i guess i will try a 400watt power supply and get back with you thx quick reply:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
