GA-EP35-DS3 AND Kingston 800Mhz CL5 Errors

[leda]

I bought a new pc with a new GA-EP35-DS3 board and
2 modules of kingston ddr2 800Mhz CL5 memory (KVR800D2N5/1G)
Before windows install i ran Microsoft memory diagnose tool and it
showed me that this tests failed:
WMATS+ Failed
WINVC Failed
MATS+ Failed
LRAND Failed
INVC Failed

What can be the problem here?
The memory? The board bios?
I have F1 BIOS version.
What should I do?
Thanks in advance.

What settings are you using in the MIT section? That is likely the cause. Copy and past back your settings, and what CPU you have >>>

Just a template I use to ask people there settings, pay no attention to the numbers in it, replace with yours

Re: GA-EP35-DS3 AND Kingston 800Mhz CL5 Errors

You should use the following

Robust Graphics Booster [Auto]
CPU Clock Ratio [8x]
CPU Frequency 2.66GHz (333x8)
CPU Host Clock Control [Disabled]
CPU Host Frequency (MHz) [200]
PCI Express Frequency (Mhz) [100]
C.I.A. 2 [Disabled]
System Memory Multiplier [Auto]
Memory Freq 800 800
DRAM Timing Selectable [Auto]
Performance Enhance = [Standard]
CAS Latency Time________________ 5
Dram RAS# to CAS# Delay_________ 5
Dram RAS# Precharge Delay_______5
Precharge Delay (tRAS)__________ 15

Leave the rest On Auto for now. Which you are actually not even seeing all of. On the MAIN BIOS screen hit Control + F1 then the screen will flash, then go into MIT and you can see all settings.

System Voltage Control____ [Manual]
DDR2 OverVoltage Control__ [+0.100V] = 1.9, you ram is 1.8 but 1.9 would be more stable for you, or leave on auto


And just so you know Windows memory test is garbage, you should be using Memtest86+ V. 2.01 >>>
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

If that is still failing you should RMA that ram as it is DOA

maybe i shoul also:
CPU Host Clock Control [Enabled]
CPU Host Frequency (MHz) [333]

???
I have 1333Mhz FSB CPU!

Re: GA-EP35-DS3 AND Kingston 800Mhz CL5 Errors

Yes, if you want. And >>>

Memory Freq 800 800
DRAM Timing Selectable [2.40] 2.40x333=800
