I have a problem similar to this:
but not exactly.
I have revision 2 of the board. And this RAM:
Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
4-4-4-12 timing in duel channel.
Memtest86+ (2.01) reports it is being run at 5-5-5-18. I'd like to say at this point the BIOS doesn't seem to have the timing user accessible as per the other thread (found see edit). The voltage is 1.86 or so. All the BIOS settings are default. I have a E2200 processor, and an oldish GeForce 6200 turbocache card.
The system ran fine for over 1 month of use. Enough time for me to be happy fill my rebate on the RAM and so on. Then it started to give a lot of bluescreens with a verity of error codes. Page file, IRQ less than or equal, many different driver references.
I most noticed these error when the system would come out of suspend. However, it will and does crash even without having been under suspend.
Upon crashing if you run memtest on rest (not a cold boot), you will get many errors within mins of starting. My record is 650 by 50% of Test 4, pass 0. They tend to be local to one or two areas in memory. So far the only place I have seen them is at 64ish, 2040ish and a few at 6.
Now here is the tricky bit. If you cold boot and run memtest, it will run for hours without any errors. That is a power off wait for everything to discharge turn it back on. I had 100+ errors in a few mins, pushed the power off, turned it back on, ran a whole pass with no errors.
It will only seemingly fail the memtest if it has had a bluescreen. The mean time to a problem off of a cold boot seem to be about 6 hours (roughly).
Extra information:
I am running Vista SP1, two HD seagate 320GB, DVD burner, sound, firewire cards.
It seems like it could be the motherboard, but given the reproducibility of I wonder if they would just send it back saying it is fine.
Edit:
So control-f1 unlocks the timing menu.
Here is how it was set before I messed with it (in grey):
Robust Graphics Booster___________ [Auto]
CPU Clock Ratio ____________ [11]
CPU Host Clock Control_ [Enabled]
CPU Host Frequency (MHz)__________ [200]
PCI Express Frequency (Mhz)_______ [Auto]
C.I.A. 2__________________________ [Disabled]
Performance Enhance ______________ [Turbo]
System Memory Multiplier (SPD)____ [Auto]
Memory Freq _____________________ 800
DRAM Timing Selectable_______ SPD __ [Auto]
CAS Latency Time_____________ 5 ____ Auto
Dram RAS# to CAS# Delay______ 5 ____ Auto
Dram RAS# Precharge Delay_____5 ____Auto
Precharge Delay (tRAS)________18 ____ Auto
ACT to ACT Delay (tRRD)_______3 _____ Auto
Rank Write to READ Delay______3 _____ Auto
Write to Precharge Delay______6 _____ Auto
Refresh to ACT Delay________52 ______ 0
Read to Precharge Delay_______3 _____ Auto
Static tRead Value_______________ 3 ___ Auto
Static tRead Phase Adjust________ 0 ____ Auto
What should they be probably? (other than the first few)
Any suggestions or questions?
