KrE8oR69 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Funny story... i have the TWIN2X2048-8500C5DF .... i have the EXACT same problem... and an EXTREMELY similar system i have tried the following Memtest individual stick at 800 and 1066 PASSED (10 passes) Memtest both sticks at 800 and 1066 PASSED (10 passes) run games with both sticks in at 800 PASSED (many hours) stress prime both sticks at 800 PASSED (4hrs) stress prime both sticks at 1066 PASSED (4hrs) run games at 1066 FAIL!!!!!!!!!( 30 seconds) while the computer crashes both my network ports also fail after about 30 min of being on... they both are connected but no longer allow data transfer for some reason when both sticks are in and running at 1066 the entire system becomes unstable i have done numerous tests and combinations and have had the ram RMA'ed 3 times now the motherboard i used to have was an asus which had similar problems and it too was also RMA'ed 3 times i have been trying to figure out why the corsair stick will not work STABILY at 1066..

DerekT Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 stress prime both sticks at 1066 PASSED (4hrs) run games at 1066 FAIL!!!!!!!!!( 30 seconds) Have you memtested at 1066Mhz? What are your BIOS settings for CPU and DRAM? @ Wired, Would you mind pruning this to a new thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 11, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 11, 2007 Yes he did according to what he posted! i have tried the following Memtest individual stick at 800 and 1066 PASSED (10 passes) Memtest both sticks at 800 and 1066 PASSED (10 passes) run games with both sticks in at 800 PASSED (many hours) stress prime both sticks at 800 PASSED (4hrs) stress prime both sticks at 1066 PASSED (4hrs) If you are not getting errors in Memtest or Prime that would suggest its some other problem and what is the exact error you are getting? And have you checked the respective support forum for the game or games in question to see if there is a known issue or fix for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Yes he did according to what he posted :o: My error. Yes, if you are passing both memtest and prime at 1066, then the issue would seem to be software related. Possibly a removal/reinstallation of your system and video drivers. What are your BIOS settings for CPU and MEM please? Your settings for vMCH and vICH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly a removal/reinstallation of your system and video drivers. What are your BIOS settings for CPU and MEM please? Your settings for vMCH and vICH? all at stock settings ie stock speeds all auto voltages and sli ready disabled using jedec timings when at 800 when at 1066 i have tryed entering in in the timings manually and using cpu oc max for epp timings vMCH and vICH???? dont know what that is exact error..... difficult to explain... its really a combination of problems Problem 1 when at 1066 after being in windows for about 30 min the network cards cease to stop throuputting data...ie there on but nothing is happening local and internet traffic and both ports (difference controllers) Problem 2 When at 1066 playing games... the game no matter which one will crash after about 5 seconds of video... if the game has music ie frets of fire(guitar hero for pc) the game freezes and the music continues untill the end of the song... can recover from the crash as theres moments of mouse movements... allowing ctrl-alt-del then closure of the program... however after the program is close windows crashes ohhh and i dont think its a software problem... if formatted used fresh drivers used vista and xp and different versions of xp.

This could be power related from what you are describing. Just to test this, can you temporarily remove the X-fi sound card and also the secondary RAID array to minimize the power load on the system. At one time, the X-fi cards were causing havok so you may want to Google that some. And, was it the same video card each time you tried different MOBOs? Just for testing purposes, I would suggest you remove the OC from the video card and test it at stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrE8oR69 Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 yes the original mobo had a radeon x1950xt but was haveing to many problem so i bought the 8800gts and the oc is already a stcok setting.... 650watt should be enuff for all that tho shouldn't it>??? and would just throwing in a bigger psu be allright?
