Physical memory dump + hard faults on DS3/6300@384(2688MHz)

Hi all :cool:

Following a relatively successful overclock, recently I've been having some memory issues in Vista, specifically the odd physical memory dump. Today I had a look at "Resource Monitor" and it reported me hitting memory faults x times per second - screenshot below:

I'm using 2x 1GB G-Skill DDR2 5-5-5-15 as bought from OcUK a few weeks ago, it's otherwise ran solidly at 2.0v (+0.2v in BIOS) since it's rated at 1.8-2v. The rest of the chipset options are all set to +0.1v

Any ideas?

Best Regards,
Dave
 
They're racking up as I write this....

uTorrent.exe (downloading)
winamp.exe (playing mp3 from local disk)
iexplore.exe
svchost.exe (netscvs)
SearchIndexer.exe
lsass.exe

...the list goes on
 
Tbh getting the odd BSOD means that you're not quite stable. The Resource Monitors hard faults are backing that up.

I'd tweak your RAM a bit more. But you're probably very close to being perfectly stable.
 
Thanks for the info... when tweaking are we talking bumping RAM voltages up, or other mobo components?

OK.......

After upping voltage, hard faults have gone through the roof, 2 minutes into windows and already >2,500 across various processes!....

::edit::
After 10 minutes of use it seems the per minute value is staying around about the same... suggesting that the voltage increase needs to go elsewhere in the core logic? If so I am clueless as to where - would guess Northbridge ie. memory controller.... ?

Try 1.9v since it's running lower than its stock speed. Some memory will error if it's given too much voltage for its current speed.
 
A little.

Run a few loops of MemTest with your CPU at stock and your RAM at 800mhz.
