Malice19 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I have recently installed Corsair TWIN2X4096-8500C5 and have been running it at a Dram frequency of 800 as needed to run a BIOS update because when i set frequency to 1066 windows would not boot. Would show "windows failed to boot missing system file, press R to run repair". After BIOS update i can now boot into windows and have it set to 1066 but now my PC keeps getting BSOD when in game or just in windows. I have set in the BIOS Asus P5Q Deluxe Dram Frequency 1066 Ram Voltage. 2.10v Timing 5-5-5-15 Any ideas what im doing wrong?? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malice19 Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 It is odd, as before when i had the settings in BIOS for DRAM Frequency set to 1066 and all other settings to Auto it would boot into windows but then BSOD about 5-10min later, but now it eather comes up with missing system files on boot and press R to repair or goes to BSOD displaying error Bad_System_Config_Info Stop:00000074 ---------------------- So i made my own chages as followed FSB Strapto North Bridge = AUTO DRam Frequency =DDR2 1066 DRam timing control = Manuall CAS# Latency =5 DRam Clock DRam RAS# to CAS# Delay =5 DRam Clock Dram RAS# Precharge =5 DRam Clock DRam RAS# Active to Precha =15 DRam Clock DRam Volage = 2.10v I did all the changes one at a time and it did work again for about 5-10 min but then crashes out to BSOD. Have also run memtest and it fails. :[pouts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 15, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 15, 2009 Please set the memory frequency at DDR800 and leave the timings and Voltage set and then over clock the CPU and see if it will pass http://www.memtest.org with Legacy USB Disabled.

Malice19 Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 PROBLEM FOUND! I got incontact with corsair and was advised to test one stick at a time with memtest. I did this and the fist stick passed fine. Then tested the second and thats when i started getting errors. Ran test again to make sure and its faulty. Enjoy... at last i know it was not me and the settings.:sunglasse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
