| 639166 | 2008-02-13 01:22:00 | Yes I have all my original cds for everything xp,office suite,hardware etc I didn't think of doing a HDD reformat with the XP cd:lol: I'll make a mental note for next time (Hopefully there isn't one). |

| 639167 | 2008-02-13 01:26:00 | Hmm? So once you formatted the hdd on your parents PC, HOW did you reinstall XP then?? If you didnt use the CD? You didnt copy what they've got on theirs did you?? If you did, that'll be why it crashes. |

If you did, that'll be why it crashes. My bad,I just edited my last post.I hope it makes more sense now |

| 639169 | 2008-02-13 01:55:00 | I just got a different BSOD (img172.imageshack.us).Should I change my CAS latency? That is a memory BSOD, no driver listed, what speed are you running the RAM, whats the CPY FSB?, you could try slowling the RAM speed to 5.5.5.15 @ 1.8v 800Mhz, it only needs 2.2v at 1066Mhz!. Failing that, try speed bump >2.2<2.4 @ 1066mhz |

| 639170 | 2008-02-13 02:03:00 | Ok got one reply in the newsgroup. An extremely entertaining thread, especially where he says the games don't crash with one stick, but they do crash with two. Memtest gives errors with two sticks but no errors with just one. People have discussed raising Vdimm, but there is no feedback from the OP, indicating he actually adjusted the voltage. He's using enthusiast RAM, which takes a raised voltage spec. Link (www.valueram.com) (PDF file) You can use a program like CPUZ (cpuid.com), and its SPD tab, to see what timing and other info, is stored in the SPD EEPROM on the DIMM. That will help clarify anything which is not crystal clear in the Kingston datasheet. Rating: Can run DDR2-800 5-5-5-15 at 1.8 volts. Can run DDR2-1066 5-5-5-15 at 2.2 volts. Does he even know what memory clock is being used right now ? Since he's handy with screenshots, perhaps a few screenshots of CPUZ dialogs would help determine what is going on with the BIOS settings. I don't see any point wasting time with the individual, unless he can be convinced to do whatever is necessary to make memtest clean. If you can't pass memtest, what is the point of crashing over and over and over again... ? I hate watching train wrecks :-) For example, if the RAM was set to DDR2-800 and the voltage was 2.2V, and memtest86+ is still throwing errors, then I'd be sending something back. |

Cheers Speedy,ive just 'detuned' my memory to 800mhz and ran memtest and it came back with no errors.:thumbs: I haven't tried gaming yet though |

If it says it runs at 1066, then that's what you should get. |

| 639173 | 2008-02-13 02:51:00 | Here's (img254.imageshack.us) a pic of Cpuz.I haven't touched the voltage on my memory,by default my motherboard selected 2.2V.However as I posted above I went into the Memory Multiplier in my BIOS and took it off auto which was 1066mhz and I selected 800mhz. | Krisby5 (13221) | ||

If it says it runs at 1066, then that's what you should get. Thats the bit I don't understand,both my motherboard and memory say they will run at 1066mhz but if I try to run it at that speed I start getting errors in Memtest.At least doing a Memtest when running the memory at 800mhz comes back with no errors. |

| 639175 | 2008-02-13 03:22:00 | What cpu are you using?, 800\1066 or 1333 FSB?. Funny thing is Kingston site states 5.5.5.15 @ 2.2v @ 1066 yet SPD epe#1 says rated 5.6.6.15 @ 2.2v? If you have the slow cpu bus, running anything other than 1:1 is not going to show noticeable improvement in games. Do you have latest BIOS, cant be bothered checking thread? edit, sorry, just saw cpu, so 1333mhz bus, you are running 1:1 anyway. I'd just RMA for better RAM |
