DavidUlrich Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 i have a question I have 2gb 2 x1gb DDR2 1066 pc2-8500c5 which i ran memtest on individually 1 stick completely errored out gave about 1700errors and than froze up memtest 1 stick ran for about 10minutes but than started throwing errors about 179 i think was the final count BUT if i put both stick in at the same time they seem to be ok??? memtest has been running for about 25 minutes now with no errors..?? i am using memtest86+ v1.70 my underlying issue is random blue screens, freezing and rebooting.. when running prime95 on the cpus only it runs fine.. when i throw in to test memory as well it error out immediatly.. dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 18, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 18, 2008 There might be an issue with this chipset and http://www.memtest.org as its a new chipset and I am not sure its fully supported. However, Can you tell me the bios settings you have set for both CPU and memory and any performance settings that you may have set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidUlrich Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 yea i was kind of curios about the chip set and kind of figured that... but when 1 worked for a bit and the other errored out right away made me kind of suspicios of the memory... i do not over clock.. i did try 3 different settings in the bios.. -fail safe default -optimized default -exact settings that where recommended for the memory 5-5-5-15 at 1066 and at 800 the memory controller freq is at 1800 i itried scaling it back to 1400 and 1600 same errors cpu freq is at 200 everything else is auto all voltage is at auto(normal) well i went and bought 2 more sticks of a different brand and I seem to be having same issues PC hasnt reboot or locked up but prime95 threw the same error when testing with the memory/cpu test.. last guess would be PSU?? i do not have another pc in the house except for a few laptops.. guess ill go pick up another PSU tommorrow and test...
