Hi,
I've had a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 (rev 1.0) with BIOS F13 for a few years, and have had a persistent problem that I would like to solve.
I am using this board with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 and Corsair 4x1GB PC6400 DDR2 memory. I have an Antec 550W PSU.
I've persistently had the problem of random hardlocks or random blue screens, with no identifiable systemic cause. Also, I am running the latest drivers for all of my hardware. It happens about once every other day.
I've run extensive memory tests with Memtest86 and with Prime95, not finding any memory errors and only a single computational error in Prime95. The CPU runs at about 40 celsius idle, 52 or so at load.
I'm wondering if it's simply a matter of BIOS settings that need to be tweaked.
No-Execute Memory Protect__ [Enabled]
CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E)____ [Disabled]
CPU Thermal Monitor 2(TM2)_ [Disabled]
CPU EIST Function__________ [Disabled]
Virtualization Technology__ [Enabled]
Robust Graphics Booster___________ [Auto]
CPU Clock Ratio (Note)____________ [9]
CPU Host Clock Control_ [Enabled]
CPU Host Frequency (MHz)__________ [266]
PCI Express Frequency (Mhz)_______ [100]
C.I.A. 2__________________________ [Disabled]
System Memory Multiplier (SPD)____ [3.00]
DRAM Timing Selectable_______ SPD __ [Auto] (it selects the right settings)
High Speed DRAM DLL Settings________ [Option 1]
System Voltage Control____ [Manual]
DDR2 OverVoltage Control__ [+0.100V] <-- memory uses 1.9V
PCI-E OverVoltage Control_ [+0.1V]
FSB OverVoltage Control___ [+0.1V]
(G)MCH OverVoltage Control [+0.1V]
CPU Voltage Control_______ [Auto]
I've also tried running everything on Auto/Defaults.
Any suggestions that can help stability would be welcome!
