Intel 865PERLK 2.4B PC3200 freezing, WOW plz help

[k0mpressor]

ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG PLEASE help if you can. this is ohso very frustrating... ok heres my story.

long story: I have had my intel d865perlk for a little over 6 months now. I have always had the same processor running with it, my 2.4b, and the dual channel running with 2x512MB DDRPC2100. Now being christmas time, I thought it was time to upgrade my processor and such. To start off i ordered some Geil PC3200 512 from newegg. And all this has caused nothing but hasssles. The ram arrived this monday and ever since then ive been freezing in windows, before windows, while windows is loading, and just about everything inbetween there. I think that has something to do with me having Pc3200 and only a 533mhz front side bus processor. So i thought ill just switch back to my pc2100, never would i think that i'd still have the problem. Unfortunatley i did. Got the exact same problem. Please help!!!

short story: Computer completley locks up and the mouse is unresponsive along with the keyboard. System freezes @ windows, before, during, and everything inbetween.

something obviously changed when you put in the new memory. I would try and reset my bios to default and if that works, gradually go back to whatever you had before, if you had anything special set up.

g'day

Mr. Bond sir. ive reloaded the bios updated the bios and rolledback the bios. ive even gotten a new CMOS battery still nothing. Thanks for your concern though D:

 

[bond007taz]

did you short your CMOS to make sure it was cleared?

 

[k0mpressor]

how do you do that? what would that resolve?

 

[bond007taz]

on your motherboard there should be a way to short out the CMOS so that it clears ALL settings. on most motherboards that I have delt with, it is a jumper you move from pins 1 and 2, to pins 2 and 3. You do this for 30 seconds or so. It just removes all settings, as if you got a new motherboard, in a sense.

 

[k0mpressor]

yeah i don't see anything like that. I have something simmilar. its a jumper that you can change that has three modes for the bios ( normal, configure, recovery ) all configure does is allows changing of pw's. Recovery is for lost or faileed bios updates ;\

 

[bond007taz]

can you go into your bios and load the default values of the bios? even if you go to update or rollback your bios, you are going to keep the same settings, it wont overwrite the bad setting. that is what the reset of the CMOS does, reloads your BIOS to default values, the values when the board came off the assembly line

 

[k0mpressor]

nope, still the same problem

I recommend try to set your cas latency settings to the least aggressive settings. Sometimes the default setting on a motherboard is set too aggressive for certain memory types.

try to run windows with only 1 stick of ram installed at CAS3. Just for testing sake.
