Ok peeps. I've got a Cele 1.0a in my BX board and its been rock solid from 100 to 124fsb speeds. Once I hit 133fsb, SiSoft Sandra kept randomly "failing" the memory bandwidth test during burn in.
Now, both sticks are 256mb Cas2 PC-133 Crucial ram. I had both in this system with my old P3-700 oc'd to 933 and all worked fine (although I never ran Sandra with that setup). Now with the Cele @ 133fsb, Sandra just seems to hang randomly when its running the memory bandwidth test. No error windows or messages popup, and the system doesn't freeze. However, clicking on cancel and the close button does nothing to Sandra, it just appears that its still testing the mem. If I ctrl-alt-del, or choose shutdown from the start menu, thats when the program crashes my system and I need to hit the reset button or shut off the computer.
I just finished testing both sticks of ram by themselves and they both pass Sandra and 3DMark just fine. I haven't a clue as to why this would happen. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Or does Sandra get picky with large amounts of ram?
