Crashing

hardyxd · 15 Nov 2011 at 23:22

I already have 4gb corsair dominator 1600 and i just bought corsair xms3 4gb 1600 the timings are the same 9-9-9-24 but i just get system crashes after 2mins of booting.

Ive seen the dominator is bought new for about £67 so should i sell this and get another 4gb xms3 or is there any other solution, thanks in advance

Hey thanks for the reply.

AMD Phenom 965 black 3.4ghz
ASUS M4A79XTD EVO
800W Quiet Quad Rail PSU
ATI Rad 5850 1gb
Intel 320 80gb SSD
Windows 7 Home 64

No it's not overclocked at the moment. Yeah i have them side by side 2-2

How do i run both sticks at lowest timings?
SB setup is?

pic is with all 4 sticks plugged in

Ok i have in bios Northbrigdge Config > Dram Config >

Bank interleaving - auto
enable clock to all dimms - disabled
memory hole remap - enabled
dct unganged - always
bank swizzle - enabled
memclk tristate c3 - disabled.

couldn't find a mch voltage will it be in the overclock menu?

I'm in the process of overclocking, will that help? too this

hardyxd · 16 Nov 2011 at 22:13

ok it works now, thanks

edit: crashed just now when i finished windows updates(just formatted), so removed 4gb so see if it happens again

Set dram voltage too 1.65 and set nb voltage up 2 points from auto

hardyxd · 17 Nov 2011 at 19:57

no, so the 1.8 would be at 2.0 ?

hardyxd · 19 Nov 2011 at 08:53

I keep getting blue screens when bumping it up and crashes when not, ive ran a memtest but it also crashed at 71% don't know if it was due to the crash or the memory test failed.

Should i change "CPU/NB Voltage" too?

Do not touch the memory voltage correct?

Thinking about buying another 4gb xms3 to sort all this hassle.

The xms3 i have just purchased is 1.65v specifically designed for i5 and i7 processors. is that why im having these problems to run with my dominator 1.5?

Should i not use this 1.65 ram at all?

Thanks for the replys

How do I change voltage etc on the xms3?

edit: ive found it ill have a look

hardyxd · 20 Nov 2011 at 16:35

Ive changed the timings and command rate to the highest on all 4 sticks but no change it still freezes

. what voltages do i need to change? to go with that?

hardyxd · 20 Nov 2011 at 18:30

. thanks for your help ill just buy some more i think
