switch8 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I have recently built a new system(running Vista ultimate x64 bit). But have had some troubles getting it stable at stock settings? My specs are in my sig. If anyone could suggest anything, i will be extremely grateful. After installing parts/drivers/updates i ran Prime95 and OCCT testing for stability. To my surprise they both failed at stock settings (also super pi mod will not complete a 32M cycle). I have had my suspicions it may be the RAM (corsair dominator C5D 2x2GB) because CPU-Z was showing extremely weird values. Here are the values i saw from several restarts of my computer (it seems to be random): NOTE the missing max bandwidth in slot 3 and the added serial number in slot 1, as well as the missing JEDEC#2 in slot 3 http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/8818/ramissue4kk4.th.jpg NOTE the size difference again as well as the timing table being totally different in slot 3 http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/7295/ramissue3nn5.th.jpg NOTE the slot 3 stick size! Also the part number of slot 1 http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/3786/ramissue2fw4.th.jpg NOTE the manufacturer, part numbers an timing tables (slot 1 showing weird values) http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/7295/ramissuerl2.th.jpg Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 19, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 19, 2008 That looks to be a bug in CPU-Z as they show the correct part number and as long as they are running with out problems at the tested settings I would not worry about it.

switch8 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 Well, the part number was showing as 850C5D instead of 8500C5D a lot! i just haven't included a screenie of it. Also i cannot run super pi mod at 32M and OCCT and Prime both fail at stock. I am now leaning towards a motherboard issue.. Thanks for your help.
