Sandra Memory Benchmark?

[BChico]

Whenever i run this bench the program hangs and i gotta cad it... Any ideas?

Try lowering your FSB and see if it will run.

Even running it at default nothing tweaked, it hangs, i have had this problem from the beginning, no one can seem to figure it out...posted a few months ago...i think...

out of curiosity, how long do you wait before thinking it froze? the benchmark can take a few minutes

 

[BChico]

LOL, very good question ledzepp, lets just say if its still benching after 3 hours, ummm, we have a problem... but seriously i let it go for 3 hours...

Didn't check all of them, but, try pulling the SBL if it's in that system then run Sandra!😉 Just a hunch!😉

 

[BChico]

Yeah i cant do that now but i will certainly try that, thanks for the suggestion ToBeMe!

 

[ToBeMe]

No Problem!😉🙂 That's what we're all here for!🙂🙂 Good Luck and I hope you find the problem!🙂

 

[BChico]

Thanks!

Are you using the latest bios (1006.a) and Sandra? Try setting your SDRAM Data driving mode to strong -- if you haven't already. How many memory modules are you using, and are they single or double sided?

I run a CUSL2, sandra memory works fine for me.

Actually there's a 1007 "Official" out now I believe and 1008.05 beta but I doubt that's his problem!😉
Good point on the ram though.........no more than 4 sides are "suppose" to work!😉 Setting to _STRONG_ may indeed help to some extent.......but he shouldn't have to unless he's trying to run over 4 sides of ram or 5/7 setting at 2-2-2.......

1008.005 bios, 2 sticks 512 @ 150 2-2-2, 5,7

is there an SPD seting in the bios for the ram? my hunch is that even though the system my run stable 99% of the time, running pc133 mamory at 150mhz 2-2-2 might be pushing it (even if it is crucial cas2).

Before i moved my computer to a warmer room, it was running 160 @ 2-2-2...
