For the last couple of days I've been having multiple problems with this computer - frequent BSOD, multiple program crashes, etc, all pointing to a memory problem. Memtest reported hundreds of errors in a few minutes.
I have 4 1GB sticks of generic ram rated at 1.8v according to CPU-Z. I updated my bios from F6 to F9 without a problem but this didn't help.
Lastly I tried adjusting the voltage using Easytunes and decreased the voltage from 2.2 to 1.8 volts and my windows problems appear, for the moment, to be resolved. Memtest in Windows runs without any errors now. However, when I reboot the voltage is back to 2.2v which seems to be the minimum I can set in the BIOS.
Is there a way to make the BIOS accept a 1.8 v setting? Why don't my Easytunes remain in place from one reboot to the next?
