Problem: I can't my new system to run stable @ 400fsb (os sometimes crashes, games always crash (dessert combat, far cry demo), installer packages have major errors).
Specs on new system:
athlon 3000+ (400fsb, w/ multiplier locked @ 10.5)
1GB (2x512) Corsair VS1GBKIT400 PC3200
DFI Lanboy UltraB mobo (current bios 11/27/03)
Thermalright SLK900U (operating CPU temp ~32C, case temp ~39C)
Saphire radeon 9800pro (omega drivers 2.5.22)
Enermax "noisetaker" 370W PSU
Settings for CPU: 1.65 V, 10.5 multiplier, 200mhz fsb
Settings for RAM: 2.5-3-3-8, auto volt, 1:1 ratio
The system's fine @ 190 fsb setting (190x10.5=1995=1.995Ghz= for a new athlon 3000+)
Running memtest86 all night showed tons o errors w/ 400fsb setting.
Running memtest86 for 40min showed no errors on either stick when done separately.
Swapping Dimm slots doesn't affect anything.
Wacky strange: when running the system w/ either stick of 512MB (just 1), i can play dessert combat w/out crashes @ 400fsb. yet w/ both, it'll crash w/in the first minute.
setting the monitor refresh rate anywhere from 60-100mhz appears to have no effect.
changing the bios settings for the ram to very conservative (higher #'s) doesn't help.
I'll run memtest again tonight for a few hours on each separte module.
Any ideas?????
