Any ideas on WTF is going on /wrong?

check here! 🙂

my interpertation: basically means some hardware/driver combination is messed up

 

[halik]

so if im reading it right, its a ram problem - it adressed somethign thats not there / to high

 

[Hermann]

Try slowing the ram down if it persists.

 

[halik]

i did, its still here

What board are you using and are you using all your DIMM slots?

 

[Scootin159]

no, I don't think it's an error with the actual RAM. I think it's saying the driver made an error and tried to address memory that wasn't it's. (the driver crashed)

 

[halik]

i have rioworks PDVIA, its just one dimm stick 512mb

Im pretty sure its just my dumb configuration, im using windowsXP

 

[DanJ]

Have you just added this RAM since the errors began?

I ask because I had 25 (128, 64, 64) and added 768 so I had to take out the two 64's and I couldn't get it to stop giving this crash until I removed the 4th dimm stick (BX6 rev2 has huge issues with 4th dimm slot)

SOO, I figure it has to be your RAM, is it a registered stick?

 

[halik]

actually yeah, i used to have 64 when i was waiting to get the 512 megs stick, and the ram is no registered (is hi density, 64x4 pc133 stick)

 

[DanJ]

Betcha it's the RAM then 🙂

 

[halik]

whats with it? I just had it RMA'd, cuz the last one was bad (kept freezing on me EVERYWHERE)

 

[DanJ]

I think the general rule of thumb is that if you get a module larger then 256 it should be a registered module. If not a lot of mobo's have difficulties with them.

Of course that's expensive, so maybe you should get 2 256MB sticks.

 

[halik]

hmm i'l try moving the stick around - lets see if it makes any diff

I get this error when I overclock too high. Does that mean i'm overclocking my ram too high not my cpu???

 

[kuk]

I get this error on my non-overclocked PII-300, running WinXP, and everytime that I shut down. I just shut down the sys and forget about the error.

 

[DanJ]

<< Does that mean i'm overclocking my ram too high not my cpu??? >>



Probably yea. What's your RAM rated at (MHz wise) and what bus speed are you trying to run your CPU at?

 

[halik]

ok, its not overclocking thing. I put the cpus back to normal and it crashed again. I even pulled out my sound card, cuz i thought thats whats causing it.

 

[Doomguy]

Its 512 megs of crucial pc2100 memory on an epox 8k7a. I'm running my cpu at 1518 right now. The fsb is 138. Any higher than 138 and I get problems.

 

[halik]

alright - one more reboot with cpus at normal clock and no sound card and i got no blue screens... weird
