Molusken Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hi Got a problem with my Corsair modules and Vista 64 (probably). Have just built 2 identical systems. Trying to install Vista 64 bit and gets a blue screen before install screen appears....:sigh!: Went to bios, unlinked and gave it 1.90v...voila install begins and reaches the first reboot...blue screen:evil: Trying to tweak bios setting with no result (many hours and reboots) then simply yank one memory modul out and installing Vista works like a charm. Vista update and all drivers and utilities installed.... Installing memory module 2, start computer, blue screen before login screen. Memtest86+ for several passes "no errors" with 2 x 2Gb. This behavior is also identical for machine no 2:[pouts: So... any suggestions? Thanks Molusken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 How many DRAM sticks are you populating in these machines? It sounds as though you are trying to run with 4 sticks. When populating with four DRAM slots it is advised to lower the DRAM speed by one bin and raise the MCH (Northbridge - Intel) or SPP/MCP (AMD) to +.2v in order to attain system stability.

Molusken Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 Sorry if I was a bit unclear... I have 2 x 2GB in each machine 4 GB total. Molusken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Test with Memtest and OCCT.Download memtest from--->Hereand extract the ISO image.

Run OCCT and enter the settings button, set the monitoring to "Built In" and choose 70C as the max CPU temp. Let OCCT Run for the one hour. Please post a screenshot of Core Temp when OCCT has run for ~20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molusken Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 DerekT, thanks for your swift answers. I will study my homework and post the result. Thanks again Molusken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molusken Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 Instructions followed to the letter, and.... it works:laughing: Pictures as requested. Going to install Crysis and put some pressure on the machine. Thanks DerekT, if you have some more tweaking in mind I'm open to suggestions:biggrin: Molusken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekT Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Use this program to find the true temps of your 45nm cpu. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=179044 What cooler are you using for this CPU? If it is stock, you would do well to purchase a cooler such as the Thermalright Ultra Xtreme 120. Then overclocking will be a breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molusken Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 I use a Noctua NH-U12P... if you don't mind the the colour on the fan, it's silent and doing the job I think. /M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekT Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I agree. You look fine, but use real temp to see the correct temperature of your CPU. Core Temp, Everest, Speedfan, Probe II all use an incorrectly set Tjmax bit in MSR 0xEE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molusken Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Yep, noticed that! 52 C degrees reported from nVidia utility and real temp says approx 42 C. Thanks for all the input, nice talking to you. and until the next time... Take care Molusken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
