I've had a rock-solid system with my Abit Nf-7 on NF2 chipset latest updates, D26 MantaRay Bios, ANTEC 480 P/S, Win.XP2 and 2x512 Corsair XMS PC3200 LLPT (BH-5 chips) setup. I also have an Audigy 2 sound card.
I ran the CPU at 200x11, it loaded me into games faster than 210 or 220 x 10 or 11.
About the only thing I do besides surf the net is play Battlefield 2 and some video editing.
Last night I finally went to 2 Gig sticks of OCZ Gold PC4000, rated at 8,4,4,3.
I purposely bought PC4000 thinking that I would be eliminating any potential memory bus bottlenecks as I overclocked my cpu. (it's an AMD 2600Mobile)
From previous playing around, the Chip seems to be good for at least 225 stable, but 235 if I don't game. CPU and Mem always ran 1 to 1.
I installed my new memory last night and crashed during regular gaming 3 times! I would blue-screen and have odd noises from my speakers. My only way out was a hard-reboot each time.
The memory is in the same two positions as my old Corsair, slot 2 and 3. I know that's odd, but, at one point I had tried the DDR Booster in Slot 1....
I doubt the memory is 'bad', so, i need idea's on where to start.
A friend of mine said that his Abit NF-7, NF2 was crashing his GAME APP when he tried to run 1G + 2x512. He's stable with only 1G and 1x512.
Should I adjust memory timing? Do I need a different Bios? Is the Abit NF-7 gonna play nice with my new memory???
Thanks everyone!
