Gigabyte Ma790FX DQ6 and ram problem

[diodellamorte]

Hello, i have Gigabyte Ma 790fx-DQ6 with a ram Teamgroup pc8500 1066 5-5-5-15
The problem is that i have a lot of instability. If i rise the ram at 1066 even i i leave all other parameters on Auto (5-7-7-15) the sistem crash very often
What i should try?
Please help me.
Thanks
here is my hardware:

When you say it crashes can you be more specific? Does it go to sleep or pass out? You should get a power supply and hard drives with an OS What are the temperatures.

Ok lets set your ram. We will use this:

http://china.giga-byte.com/FileList/Manual/motherboard_manual_ga-ma790fx-dq6-e.pdf

Try this OK? Go into your Bios del at boot and then press Ctrl first hold it down and and then F1 Kinda like at the same time. This should display more options watch closly it should flicker. Now Navigate to your MB intelligent Tweaker Change system voltage control to manual.
Now go to DDR2 Voltage Control set it to 2.0v to start. You may need to raise it later. Don't for now. We will test this before raising any more

Re: Gigabyte Ma790FX DQ6 and ram problem

Ok, on the Bios, i assume that normal means Auto, since don't have voice "normal".
Then i set as You said but : x TwTr Command Delay 2T 3T the minimun is 4.
In order to simplify yout Job, i give you all my option (and what i have set) because may be on the manual you have setting for the firts bios, i have F7 bios (the latest).

Anyway even with your setting, i have problem of crash after system start.

Sorry, i had a little blue screen before but now i making test on the ram and lokks working with the parameters you told me before,
Shou i try also these new setting you posted me or we can keep working starting whit the previous?
Thanks Pietro
Really thanks for helping me.
I have a little questions, with wich program you want i test the ram? i'm using memtest.

Re: Gigabyte Ma790FX DQ6 and ram problem

Please use this memtest86+ 2.11
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

Sorry, you will have to wait for help on the rest with Artdrivers as I can't offer much AMD Advice myself.

Re: Gigabyte Ma790FX DQ6 and ram problem

No problem, i will wait.
You guys are very helpfull. thanks for your help.

Re: Gigabyte Ma790FX DQ6 and ram problem

I'm Sorry I first gave you settings for a different CPU and Memory
Please lets start over. Go into Bios and set on Optimized Settings Save and reboot back into bios make your switches turn on RAID
Integrated Peripherals
OnChip SATA Controller [Enabled]
OnChip SATA Type [RAID]
Save and reboot.
Now go into Bios again and change
If you have more than 2 drives and RAID as I do.
Hard Disk Boot Priority [Press Enter] Set your Boot Disk priority.
If not go to.
Advanced BIOS Features
Make your adjustments to:
�� Standard CMOS Features

Now I would like to see your PCHealth
Please fill out this template and make the changes.
Please post it.

Re: Gigabyte Ma790FX DQ6 and ram problem

Ok, i'm going to sleep and i'm leaving the pc running memtest in Optimized Settings as you said me. Just to see if give already some error.
Waiting for other order sir

Re: Gigabyte Ma790FX DQ6 and ram problem

I am glad we started over and I asked. What type of system cooling do you use? Do you have a system fan? Exhaust Fan This is a case fan and usually is hooked up to the motherboard? If not you should supply one. If you do have one and it is hooked up to a 4pin molex then you may want to do this.
CPU Smart FAN Control [enabled] If you don't have a case fan. [disabled] install case fan.
CPU Smart FAN Mode [Auto]
System Smart FAN Control = [disabled] If you have a case fan and it is on 4 pin molex
If you don't have a system fan we should wait until you get one before we change your memory clock to 5.33
Please let me know how that goes.
