First the specs:
Asus a7n8x deluxe rev 1.4
xp 1700+ @ 2312mhz (12.5x185) (Tested THOROUGHLY for days using prime95)
1GB (2x512) Kingston Hyperx PC3000 (running 2-3-2-6 @184)
ati radeon aiw 9800 pro
antec lanboy case w/ 350w antec psu
The problem:
Okay, so I installed windows XP and was using it for about 12 hours total. I restarted and tried changing my settings to 2-2-2-6 (the speed the ram is rated at from everywhere that sells it including kingston) and upping the dimm voltage to 2.7 from 2.6. At this point, I boot into windows, use it for about 20 minutes, and do a windows update. After that, I restart, and 2 minutes into using windows, I get a blue screen that says "physical memory error, if this is the first time you've seen this error, restart. If this persists, contact your system administrator for further instructions."
so I restart, change memory settings back to 2-3-2-6, and the same thing happens 3 minutes into windows. So I restart, when I hit the power on switch, 2 seconds later it says "system failed memory test"
Any known solutions or things I could do in this situation? the ram has winbond bh-5 chips and everywhere that sells it rates it 185FSB 2-2-2-6 (tho many people have been able to go above 200 @ 2-2-2-5.)
Thanks in advance, all help is appreciated.
