Running ECS K7S5A at 100/100 SOLVED some MY PROBLEMS.

[DaMenace]

Well for the past few months, I've had problem after problem. XP,2000,98 SE. First It was one thing than another.
Audigy problems....... was one
Currently my problem was random file corruptions in Counterstrike, leaving me unable to change maps without having to restart computer. ODd thing, was that once the computer was reset, counterstrike found the file, that it had just previously said was missing or incorrect.

I ran memtest86 a bit ago, and for some reason both my chips failed. Im not sure if I tested correctly.
I will have to test my mem again at 100/100

2 246 DDR Crudial 2.5
Ecs K7s5a Rev 4
1.4 Tbird
Slim Delta fan on a....forgot the hs, but i think its decent
Audigy
Sparkle 400W powersupply.

Anyone know of any problems, or a way I can fix my problem?? I don't want to have to run at 100/100 and get only 1Gig from my CPU when it should be 1.4!!!!

Do you have the latest bios? If that isn't the issue then the ram must be the issue.

Is your ram pc1600 or pc2100?

I have installed the 2nd latest bios from ocworkbench.com. for some reason the NEwest Official one they have gave me some problems. I think it was the bios that gave me problems so i dgraded 1 lvl.

Does it survive a memtest86 grilling?

Better run it again. Also, try flashing back to 010911 BIOS. If I remember that was one of the more stable versions for a "non-XP" cpu unit. Try with one and then the other stick of RAM by themselves also. When doing this, set memory timings at very conservative levels or at "SPD" in the BIOS. You might also try setting the BIOS at default levels then switch it back to 133/133. Leave all else alone then boot and test. If it works then start changing BIOS settings back one or two at a time then testing until you find the one that screws things.
