Compatability issues with new motherboard

[jeskey]

I just bought Corsair memory (4 x 2gigs) (4 x CMX2X2048-6400C5DHX) and a new motherboard (nforce XFX 780i SLI). Running vista 64 bit OS. I can run with one memory module without problem, more than one 1 module causes blue screen loading windows vista. Tried this with various combinations to make sure i did not have a bad memory module with no luck. Also tried two modules in slot 1(1&3), then slot 2 (2&4) - no luck either.

 

I was told to set the memory values manually ( 5-5-5-15 ). I know where to do this but do not know where the numbers go. ANY help would be appreciated. Current values listed below.

 

tRAS: 18

tRCD: 5

tRC: 22

tCL: 5

tCPC: 0

tWR: 5

Are you running 2 packs of TWIN2X4096-6400C5DHX?

yes, purchased 2 packs of 2 chips for a total of 8 gigs / 4 dimms.

 

I have an update - I actually have all of them installed and an running in vista 64 bit. The issue now is that it did crash once (after several hours of use) and it sometimes will not boot vista without blue screening but does most of the time.

 

I preformed a memory check from with in vista (reboots, checks memory and reloads vista) and it reports no issue with memory.

 

These things are hard to track down.

I had the same problem with Vista Ultimate 64 and is actually a well know issue now. The only way I have been able to install Vista 64 with all 4GB of RAM is by slip streaming the MS hotfix with vLite.

 

With the slipstreamed hotfix and Vista SP1 “refresh” I have not experienced any issues yet.

If you do still have problems after the fix I would suggest setting the memory Voltage to 2.0 Volts and set the NB/MCH Voltage to +.05 Volts as well.
