Hello,
I recently bought a used ASRock 4 core twin 1600 P35
It came with with CPU intel E5200 Dual core Slay7 at 2500 mhz 800 FSB + 2 X 2gb OCZ PC 3 10666 Ram and a Radeon HD4830 512mb PCI-E Graphics card.
I am using WD500GB Sata2 and 80GB IDE HDDs
I managed after a little trouble, to install windows 7 64 bit, windows updates installed OK.
I have had a lot of BSODs i can click around the OS OK but can't install anything from my DVD drive, only small programs like testing tools from a USB key.
I can copy large files from USB to desktop but not from DVD, the pc crashes when i then try to install.
If i boot from an XP cd it has file copy errors and will not complete. (definately good disk)
The Sata2 Drive seemed worse than the IDE Drive so i disconnected it.
I have set BIOS (latest AMI 1.60) to defaults and tried several options on the SATA and HDD to no effect. currently 'enhanced ide mode' I have tried changing the memory timings and voltage.
On the Ram sticks it is printed 9-9-9 at 1.65 Volts.
The cpu is FSB 800 running 4 X 200 X 12.5 multiplier = 2500 (cpuz says 2440)
the Graphics bus is 100.
Memory is according to BIOS running at 400 mhz cpuz says 390 with W7 running and 6-6-6-12 FSB:RAM 1:2
I have tried different timings but it won't let me go much above what they are by Auto.
I was thinking perhaps the PC3 10666 is a bit over the top for FSB 800 chip, There is a table in the mobo manual which shows speeds for different modules and CPU bus speeds but it doesn't show the combination i have ?
For this reason i thought perhaps the previous owner had been overclocking.
I worked out that if i pushed the bus speed up to 222.33 x 4= 889.32 i could let the memory run at 667mhz and get a 4:3 ratio. I am not an overclocker though and just want a stable system, this could make matters worse ?
Basically any load on the PC causes a BSOD usually either Memory management or IRQ Less or equal...
There seem to be a lot of shared IRQs, this seems suspicious to me but google seems to say irq probs are a thing of the past ??
Anyone got experience with this kind of thing ? any bright ideas ?
I will try and attach minidumps and irq list to this.
I am trying various tests now, windows memory test seems ok but needs longer probaby...
I ran occt cpu test for an hour, just tried occt psu test which ran ok for 20 mins earlier, it now crashes to BSOD IRQ not equal... patience tony ;)
Would really appreciate any help as this is starting to really frustrate me now!
Will post more test results as a when...
Thanks a lot, Tony
