Even if you are not OCing your CPU, allow the memory to run as fast as it can and remain stable. Run IntelBurnTest to verify that the memory is stable at that 1:2 speed. -- "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler."- Albert Einstein
I tried to run that IntelBurnTest on my system. The first two times it crashed but I forgot to turn off my antivirus. Third time in standard mode I got 39.488 22.6370 3.220900e-002 consistently for the 5 test.
But then I did Max and now it can't complete it just crashes my system and reboots. Nothing in the log it creates too. I even downed the clock on Ram to DDR2 400 to have 1:1 ratio and the same thing.
I will look at this again when I get back later tonight. In the meantime any suggestions welcome. Thanks.
reply to jsimmons I read the read me file for Intelburntest and it says its recommended for 64bit OS. I have XP but in 32bit I did a memtest86 on the ram and it passes.
I going to put the other ram I had by ADATA DDR2-667. The Ram I have in there now is that Crucial Ballistix.
Interestingly the A-Data ram I have is DDR-2 667 when I run it at DDR-400 I have better results with Memtest86. Also the ratings at that speed at 5-3-3-9 I think but the full speed is like the Ballistix of 5-5-5-15. I think because video is shared maybe the better refresh is doing that on the A-Data. The other ram is fast but to latent.
