woz Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 CPU - AMD Sempron 3000 (Socket 939) Mobo - DFI Ultra D RAM - TWINX 1024 3500 LL Pro (yes 1024 NOT 2048) I am having issues posting with the modules in the Mobo. If I Clear CMOS, I can POST, if I touch ANYTHING in the bios, no POST. I believe it is a timing issue. I have tried to find any Timing guides, but to no avail. Can anyone point to some, or tell me what chips are used in the module so I can find timings for other brands with same chips. Even if it does POST, I am unable to load Ubuntu as it hangs. Thx Woz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hi Woz, DFI's are notoriously finicky with DRAM. What BIOS are you using? I would set your timings to 2.5 - 3 - 2 - 6 and your Vdimm to 2.8v. Set your command rate to 2T. Test your sticks singly with Memtest http://www.memtest.org and then in Dual channel mode. Do they pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woz Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 I'll give those settings a try, but I have tried 3-3-3-6 already with vdimm @ 2.9. I have even tried the sticks at 333mhx Yeah I know the DFI's can be tricky ...... I have 3 of em! :): :): It could be a mobo issue. I am going to try them in my main rig, see if she will fire up, AND reset. Kinda hard to do memtest with a DFI, its built into the bios, and well i cant make any changes :eek: :eek: :confused: :bigeyes: but, i'll give those settings a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
