1st off i just want to thank you for your continued patience and top notch help on this matter.

I've put it all back, and this time was brave and put the mem to 0.3v over. Its working as much as it was before, i'm going to have a play about and see if it resets in the same places, fingers crossed it doesn't, i've got no idea what to do next if it does.

Since i am not touching any other voltage, should i put the system voltage control back on auto? Or keep them all manual even though i don't need to touch them?
 
Well it didn't like that either. Just seems if i leave the BIOS alone its fine, if i touch anything it goes off on one.
 
Dokko, on the DS3R go to Bios/Advanced bios features, and disable
CPU enhanced halt, and CPU Eist function, then your sorted.

I have the same thing with my Foxconn p4m900 however it doesn't have CPU enhanced halt in the BIOS. Any ideas? Thanks

Increase the CPU voltage. Just what you'll have to increase it to is done by trial and error, one notch at a time.

But am not ocing the CPU.

I just want it in 400 mode so i can later on OC it.

Its at 400 x 6 when its restarting.
 
PS am on F8 and it seems stable.

Also it now shows the mem voltage, its reading as 2.0v
 
Stable until i turn off CIE, Tm2 & Eist then running core temp.

I wonder if there is a clash there somewhere???
 
How are you getting 400MHZ for the ram?
If your setting the 'CPU Host Frequency' to 400 your overclocking your CPU.
 
I have the same motherboard as you and that was my chip! heres what I did to get it running:

1. On the main bios screen press Ctrl+F1 to open the advanced options within the menus
2. In the Advanced Bios Features Menu, Disable all of the following: CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E), CPU Thermal Monitor 2(TM2), CPU EIST Function
3. In the PC Health Status menu, set the FAN Speed Control Method to "Legacy" & FAN Speed Control Mode to "PWM" to maintain highest speed
4. Go into the MB Intelligent Tweaker (MIT) menu at the bottom of the page, set the System voltage control to "Manual"
5. These boards have a default VDIMM of 1.8v, set the VDIMM to co-ordinate with your ram. This will be +0.3v for ram rated 2.1v
6. Set the MCH Voltage to +0.1v
7. Set the FSB Voltage to +0.1v
8. Set the VCORE to 1.325v
9. Set the CPU Host Clock Control to "Enable"
10. Set the System Memory Multiplier to "2.00"
11. Set the multiplier to 6
12. set the cpu host frequency to 400
13. set the top four memory timings to 5-5-5-15

I do not have this option.

Does it matter too much?

The multi is being dropped to 6.

So really, no overclock just a drop in multi and a raise in FSB.

TBH mate, am not quite sure what you are saying there. :( Soz.

What do i do with all the other volt settings? Do i leave them alone.

Edit: Right i'm running this, apart from the mentioned legacy thing, i had something similar but options were auto and off, the set option was auto, so i turned it off.

One thing though, the new BIOS F8 under PC health now shows mem voltage, and with the 0.3+ increase its running at 2.2v, or so it reckons.

I don't want to jinx myself but i think its finally worked.

Even core temp started up without resetting the computer!

Reading 25c on both cores, so i guess the fan is up to full pelt. Not bad for a stock fan.

Still saying its at 3600, but nevermind, stays like this and i will be happy. :D
 
It runs as long as you like, half an hour should give you a good idea of the max temperature and 8 hours should mean its 100% stable. If you try increasing the multiplier to 8 and doing the 8 hour test on it while keeping an eye on the temperature, if it doesnt fail then its stable. I think this should be ok on the stock cooler because the chip ran extremely cool for me at those settings.
 
Just had a quick bash, but that looks like it could take a while. I guess it does its test 4000 times? Eek!

But funnily enough, Orthos seems to think my CPU is at 3600 as well! :rolleyes::eek::D

That, like many programs reads the original MAX CPU mulitiplier of x9 instead of the actual set multiplier.

You still on 6x 400 ?

Aye, am on 6 x 400, its all i want for now, until i get a decent cooler anyway.

I MIGHT bump it up to 7 x 400 before that, but really theres no need right now.

Is it ok just to let go by itself, might do that when i go out tonight.
