hyperX acting wierd

[Shingi]

aight guys,

i have a xp-m barton running 233mhz x 9 @1.6v
my hyperx believe it or not when i bought it was pc2700@ 2.2.2.5

my board is running it completely stable when i do memtest @ 233mhz 2.5-2-2-5 @ 2.98V.
i ran the the test according to John's post. and also did a full test for 10 hours straight and no errors.

but everytime i boot into windows i get bsd. here is the error. it dissapear too fast i'll try my best to explain.
"win32k.sys - adress xxxxx
base at xxxxxx, datestamp xxxxx

begining dump of physical memory
physical memory dump complete.


Here is the wierd thing. if i set my timings 2-2-2-5 in bios leaving everything else the same and run memtest+ i get errors in test 5.

but when i boot into windows, it doesn't crash?
does my memory not like cas 2.5? BTW if i set memory to cas 3 it won't boot? (wierd).

i know my problem lies within the memory but i dont' understand how it can be more stable in windows setting it to cas 2. yet memtest+ errors out.

anyone have a clue on how to fix this besides drop the fsb.

Your RAM has either BH-6, CH-5, or CH-6 IC's: link, and all of those Winbond IC's require more than 3.0v of vdimm to run at the frequencies you're trying to run them at. The reason why 2-2-2-5 will boot, but 2.5-2-2-x won't, likely just has something to do with your motherboard. And lastly, all BH and CH modules refuse to even post with 3-x-x-x timings; my BH-6 won't even post at 100 Mhz, with the TCL set to 3. That's completely normal for those IC's.
