Not sure whether this should be in the memory section or the graphic cards section.
Here it goes....couple of weeks ago upgraded my pc to vista 64 and bought 4gig of ram Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-8500C5 .
My cpu is a 8400 and was running at 4ghz on xp with 2 gig of geil ram once I made the upgrade could not get anywhere near 4 ghz overclock and kept getting Nvlddmkm errors . Thought this was due to the gtx card that I had and vista 64 .
Just upgraded to 4870x2 card , card works fine with the drivers that came on the disc, Here's where the problem starts, when the ram is running at 1060mhz I received crashes when gaming more than half hour.Windows says its due to ati driver failing ,if I run the ram at 800mhz I dont get any crashes ,it runs fine.
I have the ram running in dual channel and manually set the times to 1066 mhz and the voltage to 2.1,is this correct?
Haven't overclocked the system as yet all on stock speeds
Thinking now that maybe it was the ram not the gtx card that was the reason why I couldnt get a good overclock after the upgrade.The motherboard is an asus rampage.
Should the ram be running at 1066 in dual channel?Or am I making a mistake doing this?
I tried the 8.8 beta drivers I couldnt get them to work
Cheers
