Asus A8n32-sli deluxe+cmx512-4400c25pt

[Nimrodel]

I got Given

 

Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe

4x Corsair cmx512-4400c25pt (2 mached pairs, marked)

AMD 64x2 4400+ (grrr 939)

and a Nvidia Geforce 7950GT

It worked Fine for the Previous Owner (who overclocked a bit) and Knew what he was doing, So I am Pretty sure Everything works

 

 

 

-First I didn't Reinstall windows (not ACPI complaint BSOD)

-So I Flashed the Bios to 1405 (loosing all the Previous settings :confused: )

-Installed XP pro (media center edition) With Default Bios settings, Constant BSOD (page fault, IQRL not less than or equal, Unknown BSOD)

-Now I am pretty sure its my Bios settings.

 

I have no clue at all What To do and what Each thing did, But I started pressing buttons in bios :biggrin: Mainly using This Guide

 

The Asus Boards Told me that I was Using the Wrong sort of Ram for this board (tho is listed in the manual) and Ramguy Said

"That MB will run these modules but that CPU may not over clock to the requency needed to run these modules at their tested settings, But I would suggest just trying it at 250 Mhz and lower the Multiplier and test with http://www.memtest.org and raise the CPU FSB till it topps out."

 

So Pretty much Wondering If anyone Can help me do .... erm..that.. in terms my mother could understand :[pouts:

 

 

What I currently setup Gives Memtest Errors

 

 

 

 

CPU FSB Frequency [200]

PCIE Frequency [100]

FID/VID [auto] (auto makes 11x and unknown voltage I think)

Processor Frequency Multiplier [11X] (auto's to this)

(if I set Processor Frequency Multiplier 10x What voltage should I use?)

PEG link mode [Disabled]

K8 to NB Frequency [4X] (or auto usually)

SB to NB Frequency [5X]

Link [16 16]

 

1t/2t memory time [2t] (tryed auto) think 4 ram sticks = t2?

EEC - [Disabled]

DDRVCORE [2.80] (tryed 2.75 and auto)

Memclock [limit]

Memclock Value [200 MHz]

I setup Cas [2.5]

then [8]

[4]

[4]

Everything else I left at [Auto]

I searched the forum for the Memory and found Try 2.75v, try 2.8v try 2-2-2-5 try 2-3-2-5 and the 3500ll-pro (which i wish i had now) 2.5-2-2-6

 

Very confused

 

Would Love Some Advice on Memory settings, And Also Other Basic Bios settings that Differ from Default, Just want a Stable PC, speed means very little to me At this point

[RAM GUY]

With 4 modules you would have to set the memory frequency at DDR333 please go to BIOS setup and load setup defaults and then set these settings:

CPU FSB Frequency [200]

PCIE Frequency [100]

1t/2t memory time [2t]

EEC - [Disabled]

DDRVCORE [2.80] (tryed 2.75 and auto)

Memclock [limit]

Memclock Value [166 MHz]

I setup Cas [2.0]

then [7]

[3]

[3]

Everything else I left at [Auto]

 

 

Then in BIOS disable Legacy USB support and exit saving changes and then run http://www.memtest.org on the system.
