spidertech Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I have just bought a match pair of twinx 256mb xms ram and whin i put in both windows wont load it hangs just after 'boot from cd' with a error cannot find windows system file. file might be missing or currupt c:/windows/system/etc. windows might be able to repair the file press r at the windows setup screen to repair. somthing along those lines. so i tried that and when it starts to load setup it freezes at the 'loading kernel debugger dll' so i tried it with just one of the two sticks and it seem to work ine the first two boots it was asking for drivers for a docking station but after that it seem to settle down and work fine. I have tried to put the sticks in all the different combinations of the 3 ports i have for ram but that didnt work either. PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE!!!!!!!

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted May 4, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 4, 2005 With this MB you may need to set the memory frequency at DDR333 and I would set the Dim Voltage to +.2 Volts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted May 4, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 4, 2005 No problem, and you can use http://www.memtest.org to test the modules if you still have problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man thanx sooo much that worked straight away no stuff around, but i didnt have the option to change the voltage to 0.2v it only had 0.1v and normal so i left it on normal. what i dont get is the stick of ram that i had in before was 400Mhz and this is straight from the Gigabye website my board definately takes 400Mhz ram so why cant i run it at 400mhz and also what is the difference and would i be better running 1 x 256mb stick at 400mhz or 2 256mb sticks at 333mhz. thanks again for your help!!!

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted May 4, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 4, 2005 At the main bios screen I think you have to hit CNTRL + F1 and the SiS 648 chipset is rated at DDR333 so the system will probably run or over clock to DDR400 with just one module, but as you add modules you will need to relax the settings because of chipset loading, and I would set the Dim Voltage to as high as you can set it.

spidertech Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 well as far as im concerned thats false advertising, how dissapointing, well thanx for you help mate im sure i can live with 333 hehe. have a good one. :D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted May 4, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted May 4, 2005 According to the Data Sheet this chipset should support DDR400 but only with an 800 FSB CPU. And I would test the modules one at a time at DDR400 to make sure one is not failing. As long as you have an 800 FSB CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
