ajdedo Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 For about 8 months I've been experiencing spontaneous system rebooting as well as error messages. I've had several hardware changes and I've reinstalled my OS many times. Yet the same problems transcend all the different configurations. I think I can safely rule out software and drivers. The one thing that baffles me the most is the error messages I've been receiving for nearly a year. It says -> The instruction at "0x0???454d" referenced memory at "0x0???454d". The memory could not be "read". The strange thing is that location ALWAYS starts with "0x0" and ends with "454d". The numbers in between do change with each message, but the beginning and end are always the same. I don't know enough memory addresses to know if this is significant, but I'm hoping someone else might. These screen shots have been taken over a period of several months with many different OS and Software configurations..... http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/6996/errorzn1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 7, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 7, 2006 Can you tell me our modules part# (How To Read the Memory Label) and the make and model of MB you have along with the CPU speed and it’s FSB as well? In addition, please 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...
ajdedo Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 Hi, My 2 memory modules are -> XMS 3202 v4.2 0521099-5 XMS 3202 v1.5 0525066-0 My mobo is -> MSI - 865 Neo2 P ms 7628 v2 My CPU is -> Intel P4 HT Prescott 3.2 Mhz 800 FSB My BIOS settings are -> Performance - Normal D.O.T. - Disabled CPU Ratio - Locked DRAM Frequency - Auto Spread Spectrum - Disabled DDR Clock - 400 (Greyed out) I'm not sure what else you would like to know, I usually don't change BIOS settings since I'm not too familiar with them. And I don't have any extra performance settings set. Thanks :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted December 8, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted December 8, 2006 First thing, the modules you have are not matched and may be why you are having problems. I would suggest testing them one at a time with http://www.memtest.org to be sure and I would set the memory voltage to 2.75 Volts as well.
