Athlon64 / RAM Problem... Please Help!

BIG PROBLEM...

Ok... Now I reformated.
Installed Bios 1003 reinstalled XP SP1.
Installed DirectX 9.0b / Asus WHLQ Driver ATI 9800XT from the CD / And every other drivers from the MotherBoard CD and Video Card CD.. I installed Mafia / Halo / Battlefield 1942 And Desert Combat. All these games crash to desktop after 3-4mins of play.. No errors.. Nothing...

I heard somewhere it's because of the Onboard sound card. So I desactivated it in my Bios and I Installed my SoundBlaster PCI Ensoniq... My games still crashes! I Have C&C Generals too... I installed it and after 10-15mins of play the game crash to desktop and it says I have a "Serious Error" I also have Unreal Tournament 2003 after 10-15mins of play the game crash to desktop and I have this error:

General protection fault! History: ParticleIterator::Update <- AxEmitter::Tick <- TickAllActors <- ULevel::Tick <- (NetMode=0) <- TickLevel <- UGameEngine::Tick <- UpdateWorld <- MainLoop

My bios setting are at default except I desactivated my Onboard Sound Card / The Promise Controler and The RAID Controler... Now I don't know what to do...

Look's like RAM Problem. When I set my ram at AUTO or at 2:1 400MHz in my Bios... All games crashes But when I set my RAM at 5:3 333MHz... Everything runs fine. I'm a bit dissapointed because I though it was 400MHz ram. Is there a way to play with CAS, TRAS, TRAP or something ??? I never played with these setting before so I don't know what to do exactly. Could you give me some nice setting for my ram? Thanks

I set my Performance Mode in the JumperFree Configuration at Turbo and when my ram is set at 5:3 333MHz everything runs fine. But If I set my RAM at Auto or 2:1 400MHz my computer won't even start. Is that normal? Is there another way to set my ram at 400MHz manually? I heard from various site that people overclocked the same type of ram at 430-440MHz. and the PC was stable. I Don't know how to do that.

I'm currently running with one stick of ram.. I tried both.. Both work.

My specs:

Asus K8V deluxe
Athlon64 3200+
Asus ATI 9800XT
2x512MB OCZ PC3200 Rev2
Western Digital 80MB 7200RPM 8MB



Now I really don't know what to do

I'd try setting the RAM to SPD and let it using the timings set by the manufacturer.

I have heard of some problems with the Asus SK8N that where corrected by going back to the 1002 BIOS release. I dont know if any other Asus AMD 64 boards are having this problem but it might be worth a try.

Did you have this problem with the original BIOS revision, or did you flash it before even testing it.

Ok thanks but how I can set the ram to SPD??? Sorry for my ignorance

I don't have the Aus SK8N... This one is for the Opteron I think.
And yes I flashed it before testing it...

There should be an option to 'Use SPD' or 'By SPD' or something similar where you set your RAM timings.
