camers Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I just built my new system as configured below. Windows Vista (Ultimate 64 bit) Installed ok with 2BG installed (As recommended). After the windows updates downloaded and installed I rebooted the system and that is when the problems started. On boot-up (2GB of RAM still) I received a blue screen indicating that the system had stopped to prevent damage to the OS. After hours of searching I found a little advice that allowed me to continue. The advice was to low the RAM speed from 800 MHz to 400MHz. The system seemed to be stable so I tried to insert the second 2GB stick. Again I started to get the same blue screen on bootup(still at 400MHz). The system works with 1X2GB installed (either stick), but at 400MHZ only. I would like to run at the full 800 MHz with 4 GB, as I do video editing. I have also updated the BIOS to the current one on the ASUS site, and tried to reinstall Vista without any change. Can someone advise what could be the cause, and what the correct bios settings should be for Corsair XMS2 Twin2x4096-6400C5DHX (4 GB kit) Thanks in advance My System configuration OS = Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit Motherboard = ASUS Striker Extreme CPU = Intel 2 Quad Q6600 2.40 GHz RAM = 4 Gig (2x2GB) – Corsair XMS2 Twin2x4096-6400C5DHX (Matched Pairs) Video Card = XFX GeForce 8600GTS nVidia chipset (675 MHz) 256MB(2.0GHz) Hard Drives = 2 x 500GB Western Digital Caviar (WD500AAKS) SATAII 7200 RPM 16MB Buffer – configured in RAID 0 (Striped) DVD = LG GSA-H62L SATA LightScribe Power Supply = Antec TruePower Trio 650W TP3 - Case = CoolerMaster Cosmos 1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 29, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 29, 2007 With 4 modules I would suggest loading setup defaults and then set the memory Voltage to 2.0 Volts and set the memory frequency at DDR667 and Disable legacy USB and then test the system with http://www.memtest.org to be sure it's stable.

camers Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 Thanks, I will try your suggestion. I did notice however that the Corsair XMS2 TWIN2X4096-6400C5DHX is not listed on the Memory Configurator for the ASUS Striker Extreme. Can you please advise if the Corsair XMS2 TWIN2X4096-6400C5DHX has been tested/confirmed to work with the ASUS Striker Extreme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 29, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 29, 2007 Yes they will work no problem, and I will check the configurator later, but they should be there, did you scroll all the way down the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camers Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 I just checked again to make sure. I only see QUAD2X4096-6400C5DHX, and TWIN2X2048-6400C5DHX Twin2x4096-6400C5DHX, is not displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 29, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 29, 2007 They may not have been added yet and I will ask the configurator team to check that ASAP, but they will work no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
