supaidaaman Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 just finished my build and have been having a huge amount of trouble. ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Bios 1011-001 Hyper transport @5 TwinX2048-3200C2PT 2-3-3-6 @2.75 1T Athlon 64 X2 4200 Sata2 320gigs SB audigy 2zs 7800gt latest nforce chipset drivers, everything else up to date on fresh xp home install. everything seems to be running smooth except im now getting some memory read errors and game crashes. Ive even had a couple blue screens of death, but my system rebooted too fast to see what they were. Ive also been running SisSoft Sandra to test my memory/chipset benchmarks, and they seem to be getting worse every time i run it. My boot time was almost instant, now its a good 35 seconds of windows loading screens. Also, World of Warcraft has crashed a total of 15 times in 1 hour all with the same memory read errors. Ive also noticed that the memory in the dual channel "B1" is running much hotter than the "A1" socket. Is that normal? i ran memtest for 11 hours and found no errors at the above timings. help?

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 17, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 17, 2006 The modules are fine if tested under memtest. Check the following: Powersupply sufficiency Stable power outlets at home/office Sufficient cooling (double check cpu temp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supaidaaman Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 Power supply is brand new 550w Antec truepower 2.0, how would i test it to know if it was faulty? cpu is 22-32c full load im pretty sure i have stable power at home. ive tested the sisoftware sandra cache and memory benchmark many times and cant get anywhere near the 6.2 speed, 6000+ score i got the first day i tested.

Garvin Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Do you remember which chipset drivers and or bios versions you were originally using for the initial Sandra tests. Many times updating either or both can have a negative effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 18, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 18, 2006 You should e test with the un-buffered test in Sandra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
