Re: RAM timing question
The timings by SPD can be a problem, but shouldn't. Most board will adjust to the slower RAM timings for both pairs. If not, manually setting th timings can't hurt.
Did you check to make sure the default voltage for the RAM you are using is 1.9v? For both pairs? If it isn't, maybe turn it to auto, see if it helps?
Memtest86+ can test all your RAM. Run from a boot CD it loads prior to Windows, so the RAM limitations of the OS don't apply during testing.

| I tried Memtest86+ last night, for some reason it freezes the system before any tests are run. I'm thinking maybe it's trying to read my system specs but i have an over clocked system so it's not coming up correctly(?) I remember running Memtest86+ a long time ago with the same win98 boot disc on another computer, so i think an issue with the system and not the software/boot.
I'll revert everything to auto settings tonight and try Memtest86+ again. Thank you for your advice! |

| Memtest doesn't care if your system is over clocked at all. I used it recently as part of the stability tests on my upgraded CPU/mobo/RAM, and it didn't have any trouble with my over clock.
Can you post your mobo make/model and the same for your RAM? |
