False positive errors with Windows Memory Diagnostics

Hi,

for all of you who get errors when using Windows Memory Diagnostics 0.4 (a Microsoft tool for checking memory) with the A8V: it seems that when the onboard promise controller is enabled, that tool produces bogus errors, i.e. it reports errors which aren't really there. I tested it with my Winchester 3200+, Bios 1008.003 and original Infineon HYS64D64300HU-5-B Modules - standard settings (Auto), nonOC!

Can anybody please verify this? It is reproducable here.

cu,

Jackie

EDIT: damn I didn't mean to post my problem here.. sorry!

Good idea!

I think I can convert this to a .pdf. In fact, that's what I'm going to do...take all the interesting threads I've participated in and make a small pdf book out of it

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been swamped of late, so its a bit hard to keep this thread up to date.

Thanks again,

i've got a Asus A8v Deluxe Mobo and when i set my ram voltage to 2.8v my system locks up in windows no matter what i do. Any ideas? Also, i've got a amd 64 3500+ winchester @ 2.2 ghz right now...all i wanna know is HOW DO I GET THIS SUCKER AT 2.4 GHZ with my memory staying at 200 mhz (400 mhz) with the hypertransport bus at 1000 mhz? is there a way i can download a modded bios to allow me to adjust the hypertransport bus by 10 mhz each or something? Mine is set like:200 mhz 400 mhz 600 mhz 800 mhz then 1000 mhz...

I'm also confused about the memory dividers too...

here's the 3 main things in my system that i'm using to overclock:

OCZ 520W Powerstream
OCZ EL Platinum Rev 1 2-3-2-5 1t (2x 512 MB)
AMD 64 3500+ Winchester @ 2.2 GHZ with 0 stepping.

all you neeed to do is raise the fsb to 220 and set the htt to 800 , leave everything else set to auto
U may have to raise the v core but i dought it
