Hi,
I've just bought and set up the following:
Intel E5200
Abit IP35 Pro XE (BIOS is as shipped, not sure of version)
OCZ 2x2Gb Gold PC2-6400 (OCZ2G8002G)
ATI 4870 1Gb
powering it is a Hyper 580w power supply.
BIOS is set to auto for CPU and volages; the RAM is set by SPD.
Out of the box it POST'd; I've installed XP and Vista 64bit and then ran PCMark05 and 3DMark06 in XP and PCMark and 3DMark Vantage in Vista with no problems at all. I noticed that CPU-Z was showing the memory timings at 6-6-6-18 so I thought I'd try to tighten them to 5-5-5-18 (advertised on OC) initially and then try 5-5-5-15 (seen somewhere else) though I'm not too bothered about that as I was under the impression that tight timings aren't that important for Core 2 CPU's.
I booted the PC with the standard settings into Memtest 3.5 and within say 10 to 15 secs my PC just resets.
I thought that maybe I needed to run them @ 2.1v so bumped that up and did Memtest again with the same result.
I put the DDR2 voltage back to auto and then took one DIMM out of slot 3 so only slot 1 was used. Memtest ran OK until I shut down after a couple of mins (I thought that was ok as it didn't reset straight away). I then took that DIMM out and put the other one back in slot 1 and again it was ok.
I repeated the same tests with the DIMMS in slot 3 and again seemed ok. I put both DIMMS back in slot 2 and 4 and the reset problem happened again!!
Any ideas?
Cheers
