Hello all,
I just recently got my Abit NF7-S MB and I tried to overclock my cpu
(M-2200+ barton) I started out with 200x11 and everything was great. I could run prime95 for 24 hours, I ran 3DMark 2001 SE and my score went up about 600 points but then I tried to run memtest and thats where the problems came in. It locked up about 55% of the way through test 5 and I had to manually turn it off by holding in the power button. When I rebooted I got the blue screen from windows saying there was a problem with my memory controller. So I rebooted again and when it went into windows it said that the computer had recovered from a serious error and gave me this warning
The memory that I'm using is Ultra 512 mb pc3200 so I thnik that it should be able to run at 400Mhz. The mem timings now are at 8-3-3-3 which I got by setting the bios at "optimal". The memory timing that it used to be at was 7-2-3-2.5 but that was only running at 169 Mhz(fsb+33)
I read that maybe I should increase the vdimm but I'm kinda new to this and I don't want to ruin anything. If anyone could help at all I would be ecstatic.
My system specs are:
AMD M-2200+ (Barton core)
Abit NF7-S Rev. 2.0
Mantaray d-26 cpc-off
Ultra 512 mb pc 3200
Thanks for all of your help and I hope I can get this sorted out soon.
