I thought I would share with you a problem I recently had with my Asus A7V333 m/b.
I have said m/b rev 1.01 bios 1015, xp2400, 512Mb PC3200 Samsung ram, RAD9800pro, running perfectly, but a little slow in FarCry!
I added another stick of 512Mb PC3200 Samsung ram to speed things up and for a short while everything ran great, including FarCry on v.high settings.
After the short while I started getting problems with the onboard sound, it would cut out, both in various games & media player, all I got was a pulsing noise or nothing at all!
The only way to get the audio back was to reboot.
If I ran either ram stick on its own the audio was fine, as soon as I put them in together............audio problem.
I have eventually found a fix, I have set the ram clock ratio in the bios from 'auto' to 4:5. Ram is running at 166Mhz and everything is fine!!!
With more people getting 1Gb of ram I wondered if anyone else has come across the problem, or knows why ram timings should affect audio? :?
Thanks for your interest and thoughts.
