rmoura Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I'm getting BSOD for a long time, have ran Memtest for a couple hours some time ago with no errors, but now, with Windows Vista Mem diag, it found errors. I have tried switching memory banks and cleaning memory contacts. I'm having this issues for a long time, intermitently. I have just formated and reinstaled the OS, now Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bits. I have a Thermaltake 430W Power Supply, and a NVIDIA 7800GT video card. My CPU is and Athlon X2 4200+ socket 939. The memory pair is the Corsair CMX1024-400PT XMS4000 1024MB 500Mhz 3.4.4.8 ( XMS4000V1.1 0602049-1 ). My MOBO is configured as follows: Advanced Chipset HT Frequency: auto HT width: [down arrow]16 [up arrow] 16 SSE LSSE2 Instructions: enabled System Bios Cacheable: enabled Memory Configuration: DRAM Timing Selectable: Manual Dram Clock: 400Mhz Cas Latency Time: 3 clocks Row Cycle Time: 11 clocks Row Refresh cycle time: 14 clocks RAS# to CAS# delay: 4 clocks RAS# to RAS# delay: 2 clocks Min RAS# Active time: 8 clocks RAS# precharge time: 4 clocks Write recovery time: 3 clocks Write to read delay: 2 clocks Read to Write delay: 4 clocks DRAM Command rate: auto Burst length: 4 beats Bank interleaving: enabled read preamble value: auto Max Async latency value: auto DRAM drive strength: normal drive Bypass max: 4 Idle cycle limit ( ILD_Lmt): 16 cycles Dynamic idel cycle count: enabled MTRR mapping mode: continuous 32 bit DRAM memory hole: auto I have tried also other memory configurations on the BIOS as full auto ( does not even complete the boot ), as well as changing slots and using both pairs of slots at the same time, on a single channel configuration, as of now. My MOBO BIOS version is the latest, 20. On the voltage side, I have configured: CPU Core VOltage: 1.35V DDR SDRAM Voltage: 2.60V DDR VTT Voltage: DDR/2 Nforce4 Voltage: 1.5V Hypertransport Voltage: 1.2V DDR Ref Voltage: Default Cpu Ref Voltage: Default And the readings on the Abit EQ Monitoring are: CPU Core VOltage: 1.372V DDR SDRAM Voltage: 2.82V DDR VTT Voltage: 1.41V Nforce4 Voltage: 1.71V Nforce 4 Standby Voltage: 1.66V Hypertransport Voltage: 1.3V Thanks a lot for your help.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 10, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 10, 2007 You'll need a more sufficient power supply. One that provides either a single 26AMP +12v rail or two 15AMP +12v rails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmoura Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Sorry about my ignorance, but would you be able to check if this power supply is ok ? http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/product/Power/PurePower/w0083/w0083.asp It says: Separate 12V rails provide sufficient 52A for PC system but also, underneath it: +5V +3.3V +12V1 +12V2 +12V3 -12V +5VSB Max. Load 30A 28A 14A 23A 15A 0.5A 2.5A What's V1 V2 and V3 ? There's only one connector to the Motherboard. Does it mean that it has three 12 volt connectors in this MB connector ? Thank you again, and I must apologise again for my lack of knowledge on that. Even the factory SP specs are hard to understand. I should also add that when I use intensively my USB ports, as synching Ipod or using External Hard Drives, my computer crashes a lot, also intermitently. Tks, rmoura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 13, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 13, 2007 This PSU would be sufficient. Don't get confused the V1,V2 and V3, it represents rails. If you read the manual it will explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
