Hemorrhage Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Hello, I'm having some issues. First off i CANNOT get this memory to run at 1066...I have tried multiple different Bios settings to absolutely no avail. When I say "cannot" I mean i cant even get it to boot....no less stable. I cannot run the settings posted in the previous thread as atm I have a stock cooler on my chip. Secondly at the stock settings (400 mhz) I am having repeated Bsod's. The timing of these Bsod's is completely random...Sometimes while surfing the web to crashing in the middle of playing various games. I get the standard error 0x10000050 each time but after running memtest 2.11 for a long period of time I have no memory errors. I am extremely disappointed by this as I have tried repeatedly with no results. If someone can help it would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 is your DDR2 frequency set to 533? and CPU bus at 1333? 400 should not be the stock settings, perhaps you have an out of date BIOS? can you run it long enough to post CPU-Z screenshots?

Hemorrhage Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Atm the DDR2 is 400 and the cpu bus is auto....if I change to those settings the pc will not boot. The bios is up-to-date. I have tried numerous settings to get the ram to 533 settings to no avail. 400 is what the bios defaulted to when I reloaded optimized defaults for the bios after tryin several different bios setups in other threads to get it to boot in 533 mode. I will attempt to get some screenies of cpuz....what are you lookin for in particular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 timings, ratio, etc... im assuming you only have 2 sticks, correct? if the sticks are passing memtest then have you by chance checked your event logs to maybe see any indication of a driver issue or temp issue? speaking of, what are your temps after say 5 minutes in the bios?

Turtleguy129 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Are you using 4 DIMMs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemorrhage Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 This is the event log error that I get after rebooting once the Bsod hits The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x10000050 (0xcdb80000, 0x00000000, 0x8063ffa0, 0x00000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini011809-13.dmp. Which once again points back to the memory. 2-2gig sticks of 8500 c5d is what I'm running. I have tested both sticks with memtest with no returned errors. As far as temps cpu idles between 21-22 in the bios after running for 10-15 mins. Here are the screenies of cpuz.... http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/5719/cpuzscreenieop1.jpg All i want to do is get stable....I have not been able to do that even at 800 mhz....no less 1066 where it wont even boot. Any help is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemorrhage Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 You need to learn to read....every question asked is answered by my posts or the attached screenshot of cpuz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 hey, just for testing can you move #3 stick to #2 slot im curious if single channel mode temporarily solves the problem. and if you can just get 1 stick to use 533 mhz. my reasoning is im trying to eliminate the motherboard/memory controller.

Hemorrhage Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Alright ill do that now and post back in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemorrhage Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Ok same result as in Dual channel....semi-stable (2 bsod) in 400...non booting in 533. Same error code as above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 damn dude, will 1 stick bsod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemorrhage Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 LoL....yep sure does... Bsod in 400...non-boot in 533 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 hey, how many volts you throwing at the ram? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 21, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 21, 2009 hey, how many volts you throwing at the ram? Please try clearing the CMOS and setting the RAM timings and voltage manually using 1 module. Boot the first time at 400 using these rated timings and voltage. If it boots successfully, try raising the frequency to 533. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemorrhage Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 I have tried numerous settings from 1.7 to 2.2 without any luck. I originally thought that the voltage was the problem but it didnt help at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemorrhage Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 I will clear cmos and start fresh and then post back in a bit....thanks for the suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemorrhage Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Same error as listed before. Starts and runs for a bit in 400 mhz before Bsod'ing....will not boot in 533. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 ok, im not giving up quite yet, see if you can boot in safe mode and see how long it lasts if it BSODs. if some rogue driver is not crashing the PC then at this point see if you can get memtest86 to run a few passes one more time testing each stick individually. if that passes even at 400Mhz then i would see about RMAing the motherboard. we have eliminated a few things so far so give these suggestions a whirl. if the ram fails memtest86 then im sure you will get an RMA from these guys no problem. good luck hemmi ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemorrhage Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Thanks a bunch...I'll mess with it more tommorrow and see what i can figure out. I may do a clean install and see if that helps. Not much else to try at this point. Again thanks for the replies and ideas bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
