Hey, I'm having some problems with my current new set up, and I'm hoping to get some help from you guys.
I've been referred here from tomshardware.com, so here is my original thread.
After this I did more testing, with my processor running at stock speeds.
Memtest86+ always finds an error when I have two sticks on my motherboard. I have the F5 bios btw! It is usually the following address: 00023fcdd54, but when I switched my sticks around, from the two slots, I got the error at this address: 00023fcdd14. Both of these at 575.8mb. It only happens when running test #4, so that's the only test I run when testing, because all the rest of them work quite fine. Now, when testing just one ram stick at a time (in the 1st slot, a.k.a. slot #0), they both work fine. No errors, I've ran these tests 6 times on each of the ram sticks, no luck finding the same error.
My timings are set up as advertised on the ram - 9-9-9-24 @1600. XMP is on, but I've tested with it off, same deal. All voltage and etc settings are set to auto. I've downclocked once to 1400, just for the hell of it, found the same error.
Umm, also, when testing and right now, my ram is at 799.5MHz DRAM frequency, not sure if this makes a difference.
So yeah, that's about it. I'm guessing ether the ram is faulty or the motherboard socket is, but I'm hoping that this is just an issue with my set up and perhaps some changes in the bios would fix it. In reality, this issue hasn't affected me in any way so far, but I just want everthing to be perfect and I want to make sure this doesn't screw me up later on. Perhaps prime95 will stop failing once this is fixed so I can actually figure out how much I can OC my processor.
For those who are confused, here are my specs:
Processor: i7 860 + Hyper 212 Plus
Motherboard: GA-P55A-UD4P @ F5
RAM: GSKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
Video: Asus 5850
Case: Antec 1200
I think that's about all the info. Any insight is appreciated. Tell me what to do, I'll do it. Thanks for everything and I'm hoping to solve this as soon as possible.
