Memory

[Nebor]

I have TwinX Corsair 3200LLPT. 2x 512mb. In my Asus P4C800 Deluxe Motherboard.... I've been having lockups in windows... randomly. I thought it was heat related, but turns out, it's not. So I call Asus, and they tell me to change my ram latency from 2.5 to 2.0, and my burst length from 8 to 6. I did this... mem test still crashes within 2 runs. I tried upping the voltage to 2.75v and it goes a little while longer, 3 to 4 runs... but it's still freezing up on me!!! Any ideas? When memtest just straight up freezes, that means there was a problem w/ the memory or memory subsystem, right?

I paid more for my ram than for my motherboard.... so this kinda pisses me off.

yes i know how to fix this i had the same problem

When the system powers on, begin tapping the Delete key on the keyboard in order to get into the motherboard's BIOS. The BIOS screen should come up with menus that you can navigate using your arrow keys and the Enter key.

Go into the Advanced menu, and then into the JumperFree Configuration sub-menu there. This is shown in the manual in section 4.4, page 4-14.

Set AI Overclock Tuner to Manual by selecting it, hitting Enter, using the arrow keys to select Manual, then Enter again. Now there's an additional list of items you can configure manually

On that list, set DRAM Frequency to 400, since your memory is DDR400 aka PC3200

Set the DDR Reference Voltage to 2.75. This is a little more than stock, and may help stabilize things.

that should help things

I'll give this a try... I don't know much about memory stuff... but did he have me make the ram go faster? how would that help stability?

Those things were alrieady done.... it was at 400mhz, and 2.75v... It still freezes. And it can't get through 2 passes of memtest.

Then im not sure what is wrong
sorry
