Memory Problems with ABIT AVU K8T800 Pro

[fatetheory]

Motherboard: ABIT AVU K8T800 Pro

When I try installing four sticks of ram into the motherboard, it boots up fine detecting 1GB of ram but then whenever the processor is pushed slightly the blue screen of death comes up with a certain error, sometimes its not even the same one. So I take out these two sticks of Kingston ValueRAM KVR400X64C3a, and then leave the other two sticks i have in there, and they work fine, Ive even tried moving them from the first two memory sockets to the last two memory sockets to make sure those arnt fried out, but they still work. So my question is, are these two sticks of RAM that don't work fried out and should I get new sticks, or is there some setting in my bios i should enable or disable to allow the full 1GB of memory to work stable.

Revert all RAM related settings in BIOS to "auto", or do a "Load optimal defaults" altogether. Then run a RAM check. www.memtest.org

When you overclock your processor you, obviously, overclock your memory.

Adressing 4 DIMMS with a reliable signal at 200Mhz (400Mhz DDR) is pretty hard as it is, less be said if you are overclocking and your memory is Value RAM; Its far easier to overclock with just two DIMMS.

Use dividers. Use your memory @ DDR333, and THEN push your processor up.

Remember to lower your HTT Multiplier to 4.

You can up your memory voltage to 2.8v without any trouble or risk, to ensure your memory doesnt crap out until its actually reached its limits.

Here's the following results with Memtest using 1GB of ram

Cached: 1024

RSVdrem: 84k

Memmap: e820-std

cached: on

ecc: off

test: std

pass: 5

Errors: 1039320

There were tons of errors in the red section.

What do you mean by use dividers?

 

[Peter]

Wrong terminology. On AMD64, you always "use dividers" because the RAM controller is running at CPU core frequency, and the RAM bus frequency divides down from there, depending on what limit you set - none, 166, 133, or 100 MHz. "None" will get you 200 MHz RAM frequency.

What he was trying to say is: Set a memory bus frequency limit. Your first choice for this is 166 MHz. Your system's BIOS should let you do this.

And set that 166 Mhz with the 1GB of ram inside. Alright ill try that.

I put my voltage up to 2.7 volts on the memory and tried different clock speeds on the 1GB of RAM, at 266 it reported the amount of ram incorrect, which i guess is expected, and at 333, it worked booted up windows and then just randomly restarted.

I also tryed what Aenslead suggested, the computer woudnt boot with those settings either.

So do all these problems indicate that the RAM is bad or is it the motherboard? Should i go out and buy some new RAM.
