Sx2 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hello. There is a lot to read in the forum regarding TW3X4G1333C9DHX and Asus P5E3 Dleuxe Wi-Fi. I tried to read as many threads as possible, but so far I haven't found the answer. I apologize if I have missed the information, and this is a double post. So here is my problem..... I have had a unstable system for over one year. It freezes once in a while when I watch avi (maybe 1 of 30), and when I play Modern Warfare 2, it freezes every time (if I'm lucky I can play one mission). The computer also freezes sometimes when it has been idle for several hours, but not always. The strange this is that I can play Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault without any problems. So I have thought that it could be a memory related problem, more like a VGA problem... Edit:I have also run Memtest for several hours without any error. A few days ago I got hold of another TW3X4G1333C9DHX, and I thought that 8 GB wouldn't be wrong to have... I looked at the new memory modules, and the labels said: 1.50V ver2.2. I thought that all TW3X4G1333C9DHX where the same voltage, but I have never been more wrong ;):. The memory in my computer read 1.70V ver3.2... Well, so much for 8 GB RAM. Since I have tried to alter the voltage, on my old memory, from Auto to 1.50, 1.60 and 1.70 without resolving the problem with an unstable system I put the voltage back to Auto, and exchange the modules just to see if 1.50V run better. The first thing that I noticed where that the timing weren't the same. Old memory: Pri. Information: 9-9-9-24-4-60-10-5 Sec. Information 10-5-5-4-7-4-7 New memory: Pri. Information: 9-9-9-24-5-74-10-5 (Edit: Old information Pri. Information: 9-9-9-24-5-72-10-5) Sec. Information 10-5-5-4-7-4-7 My manual says this on the different values: Fifth position: RAS# to RAS# Delay (4 on the old memory and 5 on the new) Sixth position: Row Refresh Cycle Time (60 on old, and 74 on new) After I switched to the new pair, the computer were running all day and I managed to play Modern Warfare 2, 4 or 5 missions without any hangups. I exit the game like you should do.... I pressed Quit, and I got the question if I really wanted to quit :biggrin:. Now I have installed the old memory and manually change the timing to 5 and 74, which were the working values for the 1.50V memory. Is this the correct thing to do, or is my 1.70V memory broken? I would like to run the memory in Auto mode, because it's easier. I will report in a few hours in the settings are working 100%.

Yellowbeard Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Please post a screenshot from CPU-Z showing both the SPD tab and the MEMORY tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sx2 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Please post a screenshot from CPU-Z showing both the SPD tab and the MEMORY tab. Information added. See first post! I also updated some information about the timing. I thought that I had written wrong, when I typed in the first time. Row Refresh Cycle Time is 74. Strange, since I only can choose 30, 36, 48, 60, 72 if I do it manually. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/Steffno/20100107033.jpg http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/Steffno/20100107034.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
