cTs Prodigy Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Hello, I have been having crashing problems in games for awhile now, and I have tried everything but checking the memory. I have swapped out motherboards (I was running an Epox 8RDA3i, but now im running an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe) I have swapped CPUs (AMD Athlon XP 1800+, AMD Athlon 3200+), and i've even had a video card change from an ATi Radeon 9600 PRO 256MB to my current Leadtek A6600GT TDH. I have tried every timing setup for my memory (TWINX512-3200C2) from 2.5-3-3-6 at all voltages to 2.5-3-3-8 (optimal) at all voltages. I have crashes in HL2, Counter-Strike: Source, Neverwinter Nights, Doom 3, Far Cry, and just about every recent game. Here are specs: AMD Athlon XP 3200+ 400MHz FSB Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe TWINX512-3200C2 (512MB) Leadtek A6600GT TDH ~No Sound Card~ I will appreciate the help, cTs Prodigy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 25, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 25, 2005 Please make sure that you have the jumpers set at 2-3 and not the default 1-2 for the CPU FSB and the modules installed on DIMM slots 2&3 (if one module then DIMM 1); make sure that you have the latest BIOS for your MB, load Setup/Optimized default settings and try the following BIOS settings; TwinX512 or TwinX1024-3200C2 CPU Freq: 200 MHz (400 FSB) System Performance: User Define Memory Frequency: 100% Resulting Frequency: 200 MHz (400 FSB) Memory Timing: Optimal if Manual SDRAM CAS Latency: 2.5T SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3T SDRAM Row Precharge (tRP): 3T SDRAM Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6T DDR Reference Voltage: 2.8 Volts AGP Voltage: Default *unless you have ATI (9200 or 9600) or NVIDIA (5200 or 5700) then 1.6 Volts suggested!* All other settings are motherboards defaults Then please test them one at a time with http://www.memtest.org and let’s make sure it's not some other issue! I would run the test for at least 2-3 passes to be sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cTs Prodigy Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 I apologize for taking so long, but i did everything you said RamGuy, but the problems still occur. I just recieved a BSOD saying "The system tried to write to read-only memory" and another that said "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL." memtest86 gave me no errors, and i even reformatted, but all with no luck. This is a very annoying problem that wont let me use my computer...gah. cTs Prodigy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
