prototype Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I just bought a new system and I am having this freezing issue so bad I am about to go crazy. I just want to play BF2 and all I get is constant freezing up, it froze up with only the 2x512 sticks in and also froze with only the 2x1GB sticks in and with all four in at the same time. Is this a MOBO bios issue or do I need to manually go into bios and change some settings? I was told by someone that I shouldnt run (2) 512MB sticks at the same time as (2) 1024MB sticks, is that true? I am not new to computers but I have never done anything in the bios before but I am ready to try anything, please will someone help me and walk me through any bios changes I have to make for this setup. Also, I see people listing Nforce bios next to their MOBO bios, like (Bios 703, Nforce 14) what significance does the Nforce 14 or Nforce 15 have? are there two sets of bios for this MOBO? Thank you for any info that gets posted here.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 13, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 13, 2007 Please remove the 2 512 Meg modules and just load setup defaults and set the memory Voltage to 2.0 Volts would be best for over all performance. But if you want to use all four modules I would suggest setting the memory frequency at DDR667 at 2.0 volts and see if the system is more stable.

prototype Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 I figured the 512 sticks were messing me up and dont plan on using them ever again. Do I need to change the voltage at all? I am just asking so I know more about what I am doing and appreciate all the replies, as bad as it is to have my system down, I enjoy learning. Thanx again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 14, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 14, 2007 Yes please set the Voltage to 2.0 Volts or 2.1 Volts MAX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prototype Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 I have never changed the voltage in the bios before, is there anyway you can tell me how? How many volts will there be if I dont make any changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 14, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 14, 2007 Default will be 1.8 Volts and the setting will be in the BIOS setup usually under Jumper Free with ASUS MB's please check the manual in section 4.
