problem o/cing 1.6a on p4b266-c

[AgentSmith]

what could be wrong in this scenario: my pc can post easy all the way up to 150fsb, at around 153 the mem check is so slow, pressing the escape button makes it even slower and it takes forever for me to even get into bios setup. i dont think it's my memory (kingmax256 ddr333), i took out all my cards except for video (using a gf4ti4400).. any ideas ?

set memory "BY SPD" in bios.
add more voltage to your memory via a jumper.

memory is at by spd (lemme check) and vMem is at 2.6v..
thugsrook thanks for taking the time out to answer.. i'd really like to get this p4 up and out there

also - set turbo1 mode in bios.

might wanna try 2.7v on the vmem.

ok i got those set, will boot up but only if i have the 2 slots filled, 1 is pc2700 the other is pc2100, if i try with just the 2700 in it wont boot

 

[THUGSROOK]

sounds like a bad stick of ram there
have you tried just the pc2100 stick?

 

[AgentSmith]

will try..

 

[AgentSmith]

ok, it seems the stick of kingmax isn't a good one. i tried running 3dmark with in my pc and it crashed, using the 2100 i was able to run it nicely

well, at least you know what the problem is

kingmax has a lifetime warranty on their ram - RMA it
