crios911 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI Processor - AMD 64 3500+ (newcastle) Memory - Corsair TWINX1024-3200XLPT (2 2 2 5) Video Card - MSI 6600 GT Sound Card - Creative Labs Audigy 2 ZS Gamer Power Supply - Antec True 550 System is not now nor has been overclocked. System was built early april and at that time memory tested fine and system was stable in operation. For the past 3 weeks system started to act strange as in crashing every so often, corrupted files and the like. Computer is in an air conditioned room so I don't think heat is playing a part. At full load the system runs with memory warm to the touch and cpu at 35 degrees celcius. Memory testing procedure with memtest86+ 1.55.1 First attempt memory fails on test 5 through 5 passes memory timed at the picked up 2 5 5 5 timings bank 0 duel mode. Second attempt memory fails once again test 5 through 5 passes memory timed at the picked up 2 5 5 5 bank 1 duel mode. Third attempt memory failed again test 5 through 5 passes with speed timmings relaxed to 2 3 3 6 bank 0 duel mode. Fourth attempt memory failed again test 5 through 5 passes with speed timmings releaxed to 3 6 6 8 bank 0 duel mode. Fifth attempt memory was split into single channel mode and test all good through 5 passes at 333 mhz operation mode if I read the test screen correctly. Sixth attempt memory swapped out for some XXXXXXXXX value ram running at timmings 2.5 3 3 6 and memory tested ok through 5 passes. I did not test memory 1 chip at a time in 333 mhz mode since I purchased the memory as a pair specifically to run in duel memory mode so I do not know specifically which stick is testing bad.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 1, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 1, 2005 Can you tell me the bios settings you have set for both CPU and memory and any performance settings that you may have set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crios911 Posted July 1, 2005 Author Share Posted July 1, 2005 Motherboard is running gigabytes f7 (f8 now available with x2 settings) bios. cpu and ram timmings are stock with what the board picks up. cpu fsb - 200 mhz cpu voltage - 1.40 volts cpu ratio - 11 x memory freq - 200 mhz memory voltage - 2.75 volts memory timmings - memory is being picked up as stated 2 2 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 1, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 1, 2005 The power supply you have would not be compatible with a SLI enabled system. You would need to be using the Neo Power unit for ATX 2.0. And Giga-byte does not offer the voltage setting of 2.75 Volts. It would be +.2 Volts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crios911 Posted July 1, 2005 Author Share Posted July 1, 2005 SLI is not enabled. Only 1 video card in operation. When system was built it was built around the concept of future expansion. As we all know now SLI only offers good performance boosts in a few games and not really worth the cost of the added expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
