Ok, this weekend got my XP1800 , and a IWILL XP333, plus 1 256 OCZ DDR , and 512 OCZ DDR.

Tried runin the FSB at 133 so chip read 1800+
And RAM at 266
Reading all the memory when skipping the memory test.

I get a MEMORY TEST FAIL, and can't load OS.
So went in to BIOS, changed LOAD OPT DEFUALT SETTINGS

Chip reads 1150MHZ , RAM 200

Can load OS??? run all programs, but get a "YOUR SYSTEM HAS RECOVERED FROMA SERIUOS SYSTEM ERROR"?

tried changing FSB TO 105 to 130 to stay away from 133, no go!

Any ideas, i am not the best at PC's and i have friends helpin on the issues, but they are lost also! Any help, will post this on the IWILL motherboard area too. I need help!
 
Start by using the 1x256 only make sure its interted all the way then set the memory voltage to 2.7v and the memory timing to normal cas 2.5 the cpu ratio to 100 (underclocked) and you should be able to load the os.

Then make a dos boot disk and get the 0411 bios and flash the bios.

Then you should be fine to run the cpu at 133 and the memory at faster settings.

If you need more help you can find alot of people with this board here:
