View Full Version : Memtest stable but can't even boot into windows
@270mhz i can pass memtest all day....no errors...but can't even get into windows. :shrug:
even @ 3.2v, i really want to be able to run my RAM at 270mhz :) it'll even memtest ok @ 280mhz....but it starts having problems in windows @ 250+

Anything anyone see that i could change to help stability?

Likely the northbridge chipset voltage.
Likely the northbridge chipset voltage.
No sir, i could see that being the problem on a socket a, or intel platform, but not here...i tryed it anyways, went from 1.5 to 1.7 and didn't get into windows, now i'm getting file corruption warnings.

File corruption error messages usually mean that the RAM isn't stable or that the bus isn't stable. Likely because the LDT multiplier is too high.
LDT is at 3x and 3x270 is 810mhz so i'm good there.

Likely required to increase the chipset voltage.

How does it do with Gold Memory? I had a module pass MemTest86 but flunk Gold. I also had another module that did the converse.

fiddle with dram drive strength&dram data drive my ram wouldnt even attempt windows if dram drive strength was set wrong also put ram in orange slots my ram wouldnt go over 245 till i went to orange slots this on dfi ultra d...hope that helps
Perhaps just a bad memory controller on the chip? Do you have any other memory that will do this high to test if its the memory or something else?
