DerekT Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Download Memtest Version 2.11from--->Here and extract the ISO image. Burn the ISO image to an CD-ROM disk. Download CPU-z from Here Enter your BIOS, set to these values:AI Overclock Tweaker Ai Overclock Tuner = Manual CPU Ratio Setting: 9 FSB Frequency = 266 PCIE Frequency = 100 FSB Stap to Northbridge = 266 Mhz DRAM Frequency = 1066Mhz DRAM Timing Control = Manual CAS Latency = 5 DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay = 5 DRAM RAS# Precharge = 5 DRAM RAS# Activate to Precharge = 15 RAS# to RAS# Delay = Auto Row Refresh Cycle Time (tRFC) = Auto Write Recovery Time = Auto Read to Precharge Time = Auto Command Rate = 2N(T) All other to Auto DRAM Static Read Control = Auto DRAM Read Training = Disabled Mem. OC Charger = Auto AI Clock Twister = Auto AI Transaction Booster = Auto CPU Voltage = Auto CPU PLL Voltage = Auto FSB Termination Voltage = Auto DRAM Voltage = 2.1v NB Voltage = 1.25v SB Voltage = Auto PCI-E SATA Voltage = Auto Loadline Calibration = Auto CPU Spread Spectrum = Disabled PCIE Spread Spectrum = Disabled Clock Over-Charging Voltage = Auto CPU GTL Volage Reference = Auto NB GTL Voltage Reference = Auto Legacy USB = Disabled for Memtest, Enabled afterwards.Shut the system down. Boot to the Memtest CD and allow for two full paasses. Shut the system down and if stable, enter Windows and post screenshots of CPU-z's CPU, Memory and SPD tabs.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 1, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 1, 2009 Do you mean it will not detect your CD/DVD drive or the CD you made is not being detected as boot able? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekT Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 You're running correctly. In the Memory tab of CPU-z you will see that you are running in Dual Channel Mode and the value is to be multiplied by 2 (for DDR). You are set to 533 and 533 X 2 = 1066Mhz. You are running with 1066Mhz. Regarding the disk. You must burn the image as an image and not as data. Here is a tutorial. The version has changed but the method of creating the bootable CD remains. Keep in mind you must use a CD and not a DVD. You can use a DVD burner, but you have to burn a CD, not DVD blank. http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic62524.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerekT Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Yes, you need to use a CD-R for the boot process on the Memtest linux strap. i think i know why it wouldn't boot from the CD i made i used a CD-RW as i don't have any CD-R's, but it booted from my Vista DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
