IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

Re: IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

It says

DEKB4850 B8PFP on the PNY ram...but I can't find it anywhere in searches.

Also it has a gold sort of plating on the middle of the RAM stick that says "DDR II 800"

I don't have the stuff it came with though , box etc.

Ya, all I find is this from those numbers >>>
ANS-9010B compatible list

Post me some images of your BIOS settings and maybe I can see if something is off

Re: IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

Unfortunately I don't have access to a digital camera at the moment and the camera phones are terrible quality.

But to add to the list of BSODs....

I also got..

PNF_LIST_CORRUPT

so nows there 3 different ones...

PNF_LIST_CORRUPT
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
DRIVER_EQUAL_OR_NOT_LESS_EQUAL


I really hope buying new RAM fixes this lol. Edit: I should say that all the RAM timings and voltages are all set to auto, also I seemed to have got the PNF_LIST_CORRUPT a bit after I inserted my new microphone into the computer USB port.... I've removed Norton Anti-Virus 2009 because as far as I can remember the BSOD's started after I installed NAV2009....It's a shot in the dark but I'm gona try anything until new RAM arrives. Oh and I ran another Memory test with both sticks in and it passed :/ Is it maybe even worth doing a complete format then installing Windows XP instead of 64bit vista? ....if doing that fixed the problem, then I'd lose out on the extra RAM and I'd lose out on DX10. Major sighs<

All ram related errors I see often. Now that can mean bad ram, incompatible ram, or wrong settings so you never know

Uninstalling Norton was the best thing you could do!

Try a clean install of vista 64 right over the old one (Old install will be moved to a Windows.old folder and you will be told about that when you do it) Maybe that will help

How long are you testing the ram, and are you using this >>>
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

Yeah I am using that to test the RAM.

And I've already tried formatting and installing Vista 64, still got BSOD's after a day or so of having installed programs back on etc, that was when I installed Norten AV 2009 as well though.


Still no BSOD's since removing NAV2009 btw.

Ahh nice to hear. Ya, Norton is terrible, come along way since 05 but still not good. I suggest Eset products

Re: IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

4 days later....been running a lot more games recently...still no BSOD's since removing NAV 2009.

Either I am getting extremely lucky or NAV 2009 was actually the problem.

Re: IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

I have no doubts about it! Great to hear

Re: IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

I take that back actually lol. Just had a BSOD about an hour ago, went and bought some new RAM. Have taken out the old RAM. Ran a memtest and passed on the new RAM , we'll see what happens. The new ram is G-Skill 4GB 2x2GB sticks CL 5-5-5-15 at 1.8volts. (recommended to me as being the most compatible with ABIT motherboards)

G.Skills are good, let us know how you like them

The G.Skill has been good so far, haven't had any problems with it thus far

[COD42008]

Re: IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

Well it's been about 2 months now and I have had no problems yet with the Gskill, it was the RAM after all I guess.

Thanks for the help :).

Re: IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

I had to do something similar one time and I had to replace the RAM

[COD42008]

Re: IP35-E Chipset + 4GB DDR2 800Mhz *BSOD*

May as well update this. Been a few more months and still have not had a BSOD since replacing the RAM.
