WinSomeLoseNone Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I searched and could not find a thread with the exact same problem and I didn't want to hijack so..... Have had this box up and running for over a year with no issues. AMD ath. 64 fx-60 not oc'ed, Asus A8n32-Sli deluxe, sli bfg 7950 gtoc and before today 2 GB of Corsair Twinx 2048 3200-c2 thats 2 1gb sticks. This setup ran fine after install with slight tweaking of timings in bios. Today I installed an additional 2GB of the EXACT same memory and BOOM! at first PC would not post so i puled the bios battery and used all defaults and voila! it boots up no problem right into windows. However after a bit of time the I will get the BSOD and have to manually power down. I went into the bios and set the memory timing to 3338 2T at 2.75 v and was able to play hellgate london for about an hour. then mid-game BSOD again. Tried setting to 2.5,3,3,8 2T and would not post, re-pulled battery set everything to auto and now im writing this on borrowed time before the next BSOD. What should I do??? WOW just found a ram-guy post about using 2,3,3,6 2.75 2T .......going to give that a try but i have bad luck so we will see!! please post thoughts regardless..

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 8, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 8, 2007 Set the timings to 2-3-3-6-2T with 2.75 volts. With 4 modules in this system you will need to drop the memory frequency to DDR333, which is a limitation on the memory controller on the CPU.

Where can I find the memory frequency setting?? so I can set it to DDR333. Also without changing the memory setting freq. I was just running 2-3-3-6-2T at 2.75 and got BSOD again.. will changing mem. freq. to DDR333 solve this? Bios 1303 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 8, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 8, 2007 Changing the memory to 333MHz should stabilize the system and allow the memory controller to "keep up" with the 4 memory modules. According to the manual I was looking at for your board, you can either find the setting in Advanced/CPU Config/Memory Settings, or it may be under Advanced/Chipset/North Bridge Configuration/Memory Configuration.

WinSomeLoseNone Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 Got it. i learned just now that the value of 400 or what i want 333 is the clock speed x2 so I set it to 166 and ntune recognizes memory as 333. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
