New build problems

[RobRoy]

Hi all

I recently posted on here about getitng help speccing a system...Now ive put it all together im having some problems..


System

4 gig ram
250gig seagate barracuda
geforce 9800gtx
antec 900 case
OCZ 600w power supply
Asus PK5 pro motherboard
Q6600 processor
Windows XP Home

Basically every time i restart the pc after a system change (drivers etc) the system hangs when it comes back into windows. I then click the reset button and it comes back fine.

Anyone got any ideas as this is really annoying

thanks in advance

I did initially have this running on windows vista 64 but due to the problems i tried xp again

Does the ram have the correct voltage applied?

You'll need to go into the BIOS (when the pc 1st starts up, its normally something like ESC or one of the F-buttons) and you'll be able to see the voltages used in there. Make sure you know what the recommended voltages are for your particular memory before changing anything

OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Vista Gold Series DDR2 (OCZ2G8004GK)


is the memory i bought. so it would be 800?

 

[RobRoy]

The same problems happening when setting it to DDR2-800

Thats the speed of the memory, not the voltage. Your ram packaging should say a voltage setting on it some where, such as 1.8-1.9v or 2.1v or 2v-2.2v something like that. If not it will be written on the ram itself on a small label.

ok the ram has a voltage of 1.8 which ive set in the bios...the problem is still occurring

i have also tried 1 stick of ram and the problem is still there

any more ideas?

thanks again

just updated the bios and have done 4 reboots in a row and no hanging..fingers crossed this has sorted it
